Coronary circulation (The Noted Anatomist) | Cardiology and CCU

Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients. They branch off from the aorta, the main artery in the body, and encircle the heart, much like a crown. The two main coronary arteries are the right coronary artery (RCA) and the left main coronary artery (LMCA), which further branch into smaller arteries to supply all parts of the heart muscle. | Med G

Coronary angiography provides real-time visualization of coronary anatomy, blood flow, and structural abnormalities using contrast dye under X-ray or fluoroscopy. This animation walks through the core steps, from vascular access to catheter placement and angiographic imaging.

Coronary angiography Here is a clip from our coronary angiogram video on the @cardiovisual app! Coronary angiography allows for the assessment and evaluation of coronary artery disease. In this clip you will see that there is a blockage in the left anterior descending artery. ⚠️How can contrast dye cause ST changes during injection?
