Diagonal Coronary Artery: Anatomy, Function, And Cardiology

The diagonal coronary artery, a branch of the left coronary artery, descends diagonally in the anterior interventricular sulcus. It supplies blood to the anterior and lateral walls of the left ventricle. Variations in its origin and course are common. Pathological variations include occlusion due to atherosclerosis, causing myocardial ischemia or infarction. Diagnostic techniques include angiography,…

3-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease: A Serious Heart Condition

Three vessel coronary disease (3VD) is a severe form of coronary artery disease where blockages occur in three of the major coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. It can lead to significant heart muscle damage and increased risk of heart attack. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves…

Dilated Coronary Sinus: Diagnosis And Heart Defects

A dilated coronary sinus, scored between 8-10, is often associated with congenital heart defects such as Atrial and Ventricular Septal Defects, or Tetralogy of Fallot. It can also be linked to cardiovascular diseases like Coronary Artery Disease, Myocardial Infarction, and Heart Failure. Various diagnostic imaging techniques, including Echocardiography, Cardiac Catheterization, and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging,…

Unroofed Coronary Sinus: A Congenital Heart Anomaly

An unroofed coronary sinus is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by the absence of the posterior wall of the coronary sinus, exposing the atrial myocardium. It can occur as an isolated anomaly or in association with other cardiac defects, such as atrial septal defects and Ebstein’s anomaly. The unroofed coronary sinus allows blood to…

Right Coronary Dominance: Common Heart Artery Variation

Right coronary dominance is a variation in coronary artery anatomy where the right coronary artery (RCA) is larger than the left coronary artery (LCA) and supplies blood to a greater portion of the heart. This dominance occurs in about 60-80% of the population and is typically considered normal. However, in some cases, right coronary dominance…

Acs: Acute Coronary Syndrome Explained

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Australia is a broad term encompassing various conditions, including non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). ACS occurs when there is a sudden reduction or blockage in blood flow to the heart, resulting in chest pain (angina) and other symptoms like shortness of breath. Prompt medical attention is…

Ccs Angina Grading: Severity Classification

Angina grading, as defined by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS), is a widely used method to classify the severity of angina symptoms. It ranges from Class I to Class IV, with increasing severity: I (symptoms only with strenuous exertion), II (symptoms with moderate exertion), III (symptoms with minimal exertion), and IV (symptoms at rest). This…

Advanced Cross-Sectional Imaging: Coronal And Sagittal Reconstructions

Coronal and sagittal reconstructions are advanced image processing techniques used in medical imaging to generate cross-sectional views of anatomical structures. Coronal reconstructions provide a vertical view of the body, parallel to the coronal plane, while sagittal reconstructions provide a lateral view, parallel to the sagittal plane. These reconstructions allow physicians to visualize structures from different…
