Question: is there a vein that runs from the ring finger to the heart

Answer: No, Vena amoris is a Latin name meaning, literally, ``vein of love''. Traditional belief established that this vein ran directly from the fourth finger of the left hand to the heart. This theory has been cited in western cultures as one of the reasons the engagement ring and/or wedding ring was placed on the fourth finger, or ``ring finger''. This traditional belief is factually inaccurate as all the fingers in the hand have a similar vein structure.
