What artery runs along the coronary sulcus?
The coronary sinus runs in the posterior coronary sulcus. In the anterior coronary sulci the stems of the coronary artery run. The circumflex branch of the left and the extension of the right coronary artery that becomes the posterior descending artery run around the coronary sulcus from front to back
The great cardiac vein and anterior interventricular artery can be found along the anterior?
anterior interventricular sulcus
The great cardiac vein and anteriorinterventricularartery can be found along what sulcus?
Interventricular Sulcus
Where is it most likely for the coronary artery to block and what would be the effect?
along the walls
Which blood vessels supply blood to the heart muscle?
The heart muscle is supplied with oxygenated blood by the coronary arteries. Along with the oxygenated blood, the arteries also supplies the heart muscle with nutrient-filled blood.
What artery supplies blood to the right atrium and right ventricle?
The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right atrium and most of the right ventricle. It branches off from the aorta and runs along the surface of the heart, providing oxygenated blood to these areas.
What is coronary artery thrombosis?
Main reason is genetic and bad life style, final result in arterioles is Calcification along with other minerals and waste materials of the metabolism; (hardening or loosing the elasticity and clogging) of the coroner (heart) arteriole's' (The blood vessels that supply blood for heart it self) especially inner walls.
Coronary artery stent?
A coronary artery stent is a small, metal mesh tube that is placed inside a coronary artery to help keep the artery open. To place the stent, a small incision is made in the groin area to reach the artery there. A catheter is guided through the groin artery into an area of the coronary artery which is blocked. The stent is inserted along with a balloon catheter and expands when the balloon is inflated. The stent is then left there to help keep the artery open.Reviewed ByReview Date: 03/21/2009David C.

How are The left and right coronary arteries carry oxygenated blood from the base of the aorta to the heart muscle and the aorta?
The LCA travels through the coronary sulcus under the left auricle & divides into2 branches: anterior interventricular branch & the circumflex branch The RCA supplies the Right Atrium & the sinotrial node, continues along the coronary sulcus under the right auricle, & gives off 2 branches: Right Marginal branch & Posterior interventricular branch Arteries carry deoxygenated blood
What kind of Treatment for anteroseptal infarct?
Treatment for anteroseptal infarct primarily focuses on restoring blood flow to the affected area of the heart. This typically includes medications such as antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, and thrombolytics, along with beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors to manage cardiac function and reduce workload. In some cases, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may be necessary to address underlying blockages. Close monitoring and cardiac rehabilitation are also important for recovery and preventing future events.
Can you take Plavix for coronary artery disease?
Clopidogrel is given to prevent the blood clot in your cardiovascular system. You may be prescribed clopidogrel and low dose aspirin by your cardiologist. But then you have more chances of getting bleeding.
When is coronary artery bypass grafting actually performed?
It is used when there is nearly complete or totally complete blockage in one or more coronary arteries (often after myocardial infarction/heart attack or coronary syndrome, in which there has been no loss of functioning heart muscle, but there has been significant chest pain along with functional decline).
