Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The branching characteristics of the right coronary artery, acute marginal, posterior descending, left anterior descending, circumflex, and obtuse marginal arteries are compared with those of diagonal branches, left and right ventricular branches, septal, and higher-order branches, to test a newly proposed functional classification of the coronary arteries in which the first group rank as distributing vessels and the second as delivering vessels. According to this classification, the function of the first type is merely to convey blood to the borders of myocardial zones, while the function of the second is to implement the actual delivery of blood into these zones. This functional difference is important in the hemodynamic analysis of coronary heart disease, as it provides an assessment of the role of a vessel within the coronary network and hence an assessment of the functional importance of that vessel in a particular heart. Measurements from casts of human coronary arteries are used to examine the relevant characteristics of these vessels and hence to test the basis of this classification. |
