Middle cervical cardiac nerve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The middle cervical cardiac nerve (or great cardiac nerve) is the largest of the three cardiac nerves.[citation needed] It arises from the middle cervical ganglion, or directly from the sympathetic trunk.[1] It joins the deep cardiac plexus.[2] It may occasionally be absent.[1]
