Impact of Left Anterior Descending Artery Wrapping Around the Left Ventricular Apex on Cardiac Mechanics in Patients with Normal Coronary Angiography

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

The anatomic features of left anterior descending 
(LAD) coronary artery have important clinical 
significance. An LAD that wraps around the LV apex 
theoretically supplies a greater amount of 
myocardium than one that ends at or before the apex.
