Coronaries Flashcards
Origin of RCA
Sinus of valsalva
Perfusion of RCA
right ventricle, right atrium, left atrium, SA node, AV node
Location of RCA
Travels down right coronary sulcus towards Crux of the heart
Origin of Conus artery
Proximal RCA
Location of Conus artery
Small, early branch of RCA
Perfusion of Conus artery
Right ventricular outflow track
Origin of SA nodal artery
Runs proximally off the RCA in most patients
Location of SA nodal artery
Turns posteriorly below the SVC opening
Perfusion of SA nodal artery
Right and left atrium, SA node
Origin of Right ventricular branch
Runs proximally and laterally off the RCA
Location of the Right ventricular branch
Mid RCA, runs around lateral portion of right ventricle
Perfusion of Right ventricular branch
Anterior and lateral portion of right ventricle
Origin of Circumflex
Branches off the Left Main
Location of circumflex
Travels behind the coronary sinus and wraps around the left posterior side of the heart in the groove between left atrium and ventricle
Perfusion of circumflex
Posterior portion of the left atrium and left ventricle
Origin of obtuse marginal(s)
Arise from the lateral circumflex
Location of the obtuse marginal(s)
Come off the circumflex at obtuse angle and travel laterally down the side of the heart towards apex
Perfusion of obtuse marginal(s)
Lateral wall of left ventricle
