Modern methods of diagnosis and treatment used in veterinary practice require detailed knowledge of the morphology, including clinical aspects of the subepicardial vessels of the heart. The study was performed on 60 hearts of female and male adult domestic shorthair cats. A distinct view of subepicardial arterial vessels was obtained by filling them with dyed synthetic latex (LBS 3060). The next stage of the study consisted in a detailed preparation of the left and right coronary arteries with a Global surgical microscope. The aim of the study was to determine the most frequent pattern of vascularization of the cat’s heart. In all specimens, the left coronary artery (a. coronaria sinistra) and the right coronary artery (a. coronaria dextra) were present. The origin, course, and termination of the coronary arteries were determined. Considering the clinical importance of the coronary arteries and their branches, universal nomenclature was suggested.
