heart anatomy 3 Flashcards
what is the coronary ostia
opening of coronary artery
what are the left coronary artery branches
circumflex branch of LCA
anterior interventricular artery
anterior interventricular artery is also known as the
left anterior descending artery
what are the branches of the right coronary artery
posterior interventricular artery
right marginal branch
posterior interventricular is also known as the
posterior descending artery
what is coronary dominance
vessel that give rise to the posterior interventricular artery/ posterior descending artery
coronary dominance percentage
70% RCS
20% RCA + LCA
10% LCA
vessel that give rise to Posterior interventricular artery also supplies
AVN
what is the percutaneous seldinger technique
medical procedure to obtain safe access to blood vessels and other hollow organs
what is coronary angiography
procedure that uses special dye and xrays to see how blood flows through the arteries in your heart
what is coronary artery bypass grafting
healthy artery or vein from body is connected or grafted to the blocked coronary artery
anterior and posterior interventricular artery lead to
apex
where does left coronary artery originate from
aorta (left posterior aortic sinus)
where does RCA originate from
anterior coronary sinus
anamalous left main coronary artery
originate from diff places
ie right coronary cusp
