Coronary Circulation Flashcards
Coronary artery branches from?
Ascending aorta ( they arise from right and left aortic sinuses)
Which arteries get filled up at diastole
Coronary arteries
Branches of RCA
R conus
Sinu-atrial nodal
Anterior ventricular
Posterior ventricular
Posterior interventricular artery
RCA supplies right ventricle except
Area adjoining anterior inter ventricular sulcus
RCA passes forward first between which 2 structures
Right auricle and pulmonary trunk
After passing the pulmonary trunk and R auricle the RCA descends through which groove
Anterior coronary sulcus
Describe the path of RCA after passing the inferior margin of heart
turns posteriorly and continues in posterior part of
coronary groove on diaphragmatic surface of
heart.
LCA first passes between which 2 structures
Left auricle and pulmonary trunk
The first division of LCA gives rise to
anterior interventricular + a circumflex artery.
Describe the path of left anterior interventricular artery
runs downwards in anterior interventricular
groove to apex of heart.
Describe the path of circumflex artery
circumflex artery (represents
continuation of LCA) turns round left
border of heart and continues in
posterior part of coronary sulcus to
anastomose with branches of RCA.
Which LCA branch is found in posterior coronary sulcus
Circumflex artery
Left marginal artery originates from
circumflex artery
reach apex, supplies both ventricles, interventricular septum + atrioventricular(AV) node (90% of cases).
Which artery
RCA
Posterior ventricular RCA supplies
2 in number supply
diaphragmatic (inferior) wall of right ventricle
