Coronary Arteries

Coronary arteries are blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle itself. They branch off from the aorta, the body's main artery, and ensure that the heart gets the nutrients and oxygen it needs to function effectively. The major coronary arteries are the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery, with their branches further dividing to reach all parts of the heart. Healthy coronary arteries are crucial for heart health, as blockages or diseases in these vessels can lead to serious conditions like heart attacks or heart disease.
