2. Coronary arteries - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_arteries

   Coronary artery disease (CAD) or ischemic heart disease are the terms used to describe narrowing of the coronary arteries. [8] As the disease progresses, plaque buildup can partially block blood flow to the heart muscle. Without enough blood supply , the heart is unable to work properly, especially under increased stress.

3. Coronary artery disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease

   Coronary artery disease ( CAD ), also called coronary heart disease ( CHD ), ischemic heart disease ( IHD ), [ 13] myocardial ischemia, [ 14] or simply heart disease, involves the reduction of blood flow to the cardiac muscle due to build-up of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries of the heart. [ 5][ 6][ 15] It is the most common of the ...

4. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

   Coronary artery bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass graft ( CABG, pronounced "cabbage"), is a surgical procedure to treat coronary artery disease (CAD), the buildup of plaques in the arteries of the heart. It can relieve chest pain caused by CAD, slow the progression of CAD, and increase life expectancy.

5. Coronary circulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_circulation

   Coronary circulation is the circulation of blood in the arteries and veins that supply the heart muscle (myocardium). Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. Cardiac veins then drain away the blood after it has been deoxygenated. Because the rest of the body, and most especially the brain, needs a steady supply of ...

6. Coronary ischemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_ischemia

   Coronary ischemia, myocardial ischemia, [ 1] or cardiac ischemia, [ 2] is a medical term for abnormally reduced blood flow in the coronary circulation through the coronary arteries. [ 3] Coronary ischemia is linked to heart disease, and heart attacks. [ 4] Coronary arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. [ 5]

7. Circumflex branch of left coronary artery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumflex_branch_of_left...

   Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] The circumflex branch of left coronary artery (also known as the left circumflex artery or circumflex artery[citation needed]) is a branch of the left coronary artery. It winds around the left side of the heart along the atrioventricular groove (coronary sulcus). It supplies the posterolateral portion ...

8. Coronary catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_catheterization

   Coronary catheterization. A coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation and blood filled chambers of the heart using a catheter. It is performed for both diagnostic and interventional (treatment) purposes. Coronary catheterization is one of the several cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures.

9. Coronary stent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_stent

   Coronary artery stents, typically a metal framework, can be placed inside the artery to help keep it open. However, as the stent is a foreign object (not native to the body), it incites an immune response. This may cause scar tissue (cell proliferation) to rapidly grow over the stent and cause a neointimal hyperplasia.
