The moderator band (also known as septomarginal trabecula[1]) is a band of cardiac muscle found in the right ventricle of the heart.[2][3][4] It is well-marked in sheep and some other animals, including humans. It extends from the base of the anterior papillary muscle of the tricuspid valve to the ventricular septum.[2]

Transcription
Structure
The moderator band is located in the right ventricle.[2][3] The moderator band connects the base of the anterior papillary muscles of the tricuspid valve to the ventricular septum.[2]
Function
The moderator band is important because it carries part of the right bundle branch of the atrioventricular bundle of the conduction system of the heart to the anterior papillary muscle.[1] This shortcut across the chamber of the ventricle ensures equal conduction time in the left and right ventricles, allowing for coordinated contraction of the anterior papillary muscle.[1]
Clinical significance
The moderator band is often used by radiologists and obstetricians to more easily identify the right ventricle in prenatal ultrasound.
History
From its attachments it was thought to prevent overdistension of the ventricle, and was named the "moderator band". It was first described by Leonardo da Vinci in his exploration of human anatomy.
