To continue to study and clarify things for me I am now going to run through blood circulation of the Coronoary Circuit. First, I will discuss the Coronary Circuit (arteries).
Coming off of the Aorta is the right coronary artery which then turns into/divides into the Right Marginal Artery and the Posterior Interventricular Artery. The Left Coronary Artery turns into/divides into the anterior Interventricular artery and the circumflex artery.
The returning blood from the heart comes from the Great Cardiac Vein, the Middle Cardiac Vein and the Small/lesser Cardiac Vein. These all drain into the coronary sinus located on the back of ther heart and then the deoxygenated blood is returned to the right atrium.

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a section of heart muscle becomes blocked. If the flow of blood isn’t restored quickly, the section of heart muscle becomes damaged from lack of oxygen and begins to die.
ReplyDeleteHealthy lifestyle choices to help prevent heart attack include:
Following a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Pay careful attention to the amounts and types of fat in your diet. Lower your salt intake. These changes can help lower high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol.
Losing weight if you're overweight or obese.
Quitting smoking.Doing physical activity to improve heart fitness. Ask your doctor how much and what kinds of physical activity are safe for you.
