CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY
THE CORONARY ARTERIESThe heart acts as a pump to send blood throughout your body
Like all living organs, the heart requires its own specific fuel (oxygen, glucose, etc…) in order to function properly. This is provided by blood circulating in the coronary arteries situated on the surface of the heart.
Coronary arteries feed the cardiac muscle and are divided into three main branches:
- The right coronary artery
- The left anterior descending coronary artery
- Thecircumflex coronary artery.
