What type of heart failure is caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart muscles?
That would probably be coronary heart disease. Seeing as though the arteries that feed the heart muscle/the myocardium, with blood are called the coronary arteries.
What phase of cardiac cycle do coronary arteries receive blood flow?
The Coronary Arteries receive blood during Diastole. While the heart is contracting, they are squeezed shut and little blood flows through them.
What is the purpose for heart cauterization?
also called coronary angiogram, is a test to check your heart and coronary arteries. It is used to check blood flow in the coronary arteries , blood flow and blood pressure in the chambers of the heart , find out how well the heart valves work, and check for defects in the way the wall of the heart moves. In children, this test is used to check for heart problems that have been present since birth (congenital heart defect).
What are the reasons of heart attack?
Heart attacks are usually caused by a buildup of plaques in the coronary arteries. If they rupture, they can cause blood clots, blocking the flow of blood to the heart.
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.
Does blood flow from the coronary sinus into the coronary arteries?
no it flows to your heart

Do coronary arteries get their blood supply during systole or diastole?
Coronary arteries primarily receive blood supply during diastole when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood. This is because during systole, when the heart is contracting to push blood out, the coronary arteries can get compressed which reduces blood flow to the heart muscle.
Why does blood not flow through the coronary arteries when the heart is contracting?
because it didn't feel like it
What is a balloon angioplasty?
It is performed to open narrowed coronary arteries and improve blood flow to the heart.
What phase of cardiac cycle do coronary arteries receive blood flow?
The Coronary Arteries receive blood during Diastole. While the heart is contracting, they are squeezed shut and little blood flows through them.
What is the main function of the blood vessels in the heart?
The function of the coronary arteries is to transport oxygenated blood to the heart--------not to other parts of the body !!The vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium are known as coronary arteries.The coronary arteries that run on the surface of the heart are called epicardial coronary arteries. These arteries, when healthy, are capable of autoregulation to maintain coronary blood flow at levels appropriate to the needs of theheart muscle.The coronary arteries are classified as "end circulation", since they represent the only source of blood supply to the myocardium.
What disease that results from reduced blood flow in the coronary arteries that supply the myocardium of the heart is?
angina pectoris

How are coronary arteries involved in a heart attack?
A blocked (occluded) coronary artery is what causes a heart attack.
What are the reasons of heart attack?
Heart attacks are usually caused by a buildup of plaques in the coronary arteries. If they rupture, they can cause blood clots, blocking the flow of blood to the heart.
Where are the coronary blood vessels?
Blood enters the coronary arteries just above the aortic semilunar valve. After systole (a ventricular contraction), the valve closes. The closing valve causes blood to back flow against the valve. At this time, the backward flow of blood enters into the coronary arteries.
