Coronaries + angio Flashcards

1
Q

Outline basics L coronary

A

Coronaries sit under pericardium

Left main coronary
1) LAD
-> Septal branches (perfusing septum)
-> Diagonal branches (usually 2 perfusing anteriolateral segment)
-> Distal segment (apical)
2) L circumflex
->L atrial
-> Obtuse marginal (L marginal - usually 2)-
1 - Proximal perfusing anteriorlateral LV
2 - Inferiorlateral / posterior LV

Q

Outline basics R coronary

A

Right coronary
1) Conus artery - perfuses RV outflow tract and anterior RV wall
2) SA nodal artery (in 60%)
3) R atrial branch
4) Acute (right) marginal (sometimes multiple branches perfusing RV)
5) AV nodal artery
Then bifurcates into
1) Right posteriorlateral artery (RPL) - inferiolateral/ posteriorlateral wall
2) Posterior descending artery (PDA) - Interventricular septum (posterior part)

Q

Where does the ramus atery (common variant) come from?

A

L main in between LAD / OM1

Perfuses same as OM1 / high diagonal branches (Anteriolateral LV)

Q

What does dominance mean with regard to coronaries

A

Where posterior descending artery comes from (right or left)
3 options:

1) RPDA (most common) - R coronary
2) LPDA - L circumflex
3) Co-dominant due to anastamosis between both

Q

Where do the coronary veins drain into? Other main coronary veins draining into this?

A

Coronary sinus ( posterior side of heart) -> drains into R atrium

Posterior side
1) Small cardiac vein (adjacent to acute (right) marginal)
2) Middle cardiac vein (adjacent to PDA) (RV)
3) Posterior cardiac vein (posterior ventricles)

Anterior side
1) Great cardiac vein -Adjacent to LAD - LV
2) Anterior vein (RA/RV - anterior segments)
