The coronary sinus is a collection of veins joined together to form a large vessel that collects blood from the myocardium of the heart. It is present in humans and other animals.

Coronary ischemia is a medical term for not having enough blood through the coronary arteries.

A coronary occlusion is the partial or complete obstruction of blood flow in a coronary artery. This condition may cause a heart attack.

Coronary steal is a phenomenon where an alteration of circulation patterns lead to a reduction in the blood directed to the coronary circulation.

Coronary circulation is the circulation of blood in the blood vessels of the heart muscle. Although blood fills the chambers of the heart, the muscle tissue of the heart (the myocardium) is so thick that it requires coronary blood vessels to deliver blood deep into it.

Abstract: Basic structure-function relations of the epicardial coronary vascular tree. Basis of quantitative coronary arteriography for diffuse coronary artery disease. Seiler C, Kirkeeide RL, Gould KL. University of Texas Medical School, Houston 77030. BACKGROUND. Quantitative coronary arteriography has been validated for stenotic segments of coronary arteries. However, it does not currently account for diffuse coronary artery disease, because the normal size of the coronary artery for its distal myocardial bed size is not known and cannot be measured directly with diffuse involvement of the artery....

Abstract: Comparison of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty versus coronary artery bypass grafting for multivessel coronary artery disease. Vacek JL, Rosamond TL, Stites HW, Rowe SK, Robuck W, Dittmeier G, Beauchamp GD. Mid-America Heart Institute, Kansas City, Missouri. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are both widely performed in the treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease. Little data directly compare the outcomes of patients treated with these 2 techniques. We examined the characteristics and outcomes of 152 patie...
