What is the purpose of the coronary artery and what happens if there is a blockage?
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (also called coronary artery bypass surgery [CABG] and bypass operation) is performed to restore blood flow to the heart. This relieves chest pain and ischemia, improves the patient's quality of life.
What coronary vessels supplies the inter ventricular septum?
The interventricular septum is primarily supplied by the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, a branch of the left coronary artery. In some individuals, the posterior descending artery (PDA), which branches from the right coronary artery, may also contribute to the blood supply of the lower part of the septum. The degree of supply can vary based on the individual's coronary artery anatomy.
What is a surgery you can have when your coronary artery is blocked?

Which blood vessels supply blood to the heart muscle?

What cardiac vessel located in coronary sulcus in deoxygenated blood?
The cardiac vessel located in the coronary sulcus that primarily contains deoxygenated blood is the coronary sinus. It collects deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle (myocardium) through several cardiac veins and drains into the right atrium. The coronary sulcus, also known as the atrioventricular groove, encircles the heart and separates the atria from the ventricles.
What coronary artery most supplies to left ventricle?
The blood vessel which provides blood to most of the left ventricle is the Left Anterior Descending artery, a branch of the Left Main Coronary Artery. The Circumflex artery, also a branch of the Left Main, also supplies blood to the posterior left ventricle.
