LAD in a medical context typically stands for "left anterior descending," which refers to a major artery supplying blood to the heart muscle. It plays a crucial role in supplying oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
Yes, the anterior branch of the left coronary artery, also known as the left anterior descending artery (LAD), courses within the anterior interventricular sulcus. This artery supplies blood to the anterior walls of the left ventricle and interventricular septum. It is a critical vessel for the heart's blood supply.
The two main vessels that arise from the Sinus of Valsalva, located just above the aortic valves, are the right and left cornary arteries. The right coronary artery mainly supply the right ventricle and the sinoatrial node. The left main artery is divided into the left anterior descending artery and the left circumflex artery. The left anterior descending artery mainly supplies the anterior and septal portion of the heart, namely the left ventricle. The left circumflex artery supplies the lateral walls of the left ventricle. Finally, the posterior descending artery can arise from either the right or left coronary artery. If the posterior descending artery arises from the right coronary artery, the heart is termed right heart dominant, which is seen in approximately 70% of individuals. If the posterior descending artery arises from the left circumflex artery, it is termed left heart dominance. It is also possible for the posterior descending artery to arise from both the right and left coronary artery. In this configuration, the heart is considered co-dominant. The posterior descending artery mainly supplies the inferior wall of the left ventricle and the inferior portion of the septal wall.
Which coronary artery is most likely occluded
some times , after angiography the doctors says,this patient have two clogged arteries or three clogged arteries.My question,total how many arteries in normal human heart.and how many clogged arteries will lead the patient to death?
Located just above the aortic valves, are the right and left cornary arteries. The right coronary artery mainly supply the right ventricle and the sinoatrial node.

The left anterior descending artery mainly supplies the anterior and septal portion of the heart, namely the left ventricle. The left circumflex artery supplies the lateral walls of the 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.
A finding of significant narrowing of the left main coronary artery and/or blockage or severe narrowing in the high, left anterior descending coronary artery.
