  Coronary circulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The papillary muscles tether the mitral valve (the valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle) and the tricuspid valve (the valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle) to the wall of the heart.
During contraction of the ventricular myocardium (systole), the subendocardial coronary vessels (the vessels that enter the myocardium) are compressed due to the high intraventricular pressures.
In the coronary circulation, norepinephrine elicits vasodilation, due to the predominance of beta-adrenergic receptors in the coronary circulation.

 Right coronary artery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The right coronary artery (RCA) originates above the right cusp of the aortic valve.
At the origin of the RCA is the conus artery.
In addition to supplying blood to the right ventricle (RV), the RCA supplies 25% to 35% of the left ventricle (LV).

The right coronary artery arises from the anterior - right - aortic sinus.
Having reached the most inferior point of the atrioventricular groove on the sternocostal surface, the right coronary artery then follows the groove onto the inferior surface of the heart.
The right coronary artery terminates by anastomosing with the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery on the posterior surface of the heart near to the inferior margin of the left atrium.

 eMedicine - Coronary Artery Anomalies : Article by Andrew N Pelech, MD
Coronary arteries that arise ectopically usually course tangentially to the aortic wall or arise in close relationship to the commissure of the aortic valve.
The course of named coronary arteries is mostly epicardial, although the proximal LAD may have an intramural or subepicardial course in 5-25% of the general population.
Epicardial coronary vessels serve as capacitance vessels, primarily filling during the period of diastole (as much as 85% of total flow), and intramural pressure and resistance to myocardial perfusion progressively increase from the outer to inner layers of the heart.

 Guiding catheter for the right coronary artery - Patent 5348545
The right Judkins catheter generally has three curves in the distal end, primary curve at the very distal tip, a much larger radiused secondary curve about 4-6 cm proximal from the primary curve and a tertiary curve proximal to the secondary curve having a much larger radius of curvature than the secondary curve.
However, the distal tip of the right Judkins catheter can be difficult to place within the ostium of the right coronary artery and once properly placed in the ostium thereof the distal tip can be easily displaced therefrom during angioplasty and other coronary vascular procedures.
The present invention is directed to a torquable guiding catheter which facilitates the placement of the distal tip of the catheter within the ostium of the patient's right coronary artery and which urges the distal tip into the ostium so that it is maintained therein during a coronary vascular procedure.

 MYOCARDIAL VIABILITY
In particular: collateral circulation from the conus branch of the right coronary artery to septal branches of the left anterior descending; Kugel’s artery between branches of the right coronary artery (posterior descending artery and posterior-lateral branch) and the left circumflex artery.
Because of his young age the coronary artery bypass grafting was performed with arterial grafts: the left internal mammary artery was used to graft the left anterior descending and the radial artery was used to graft the obtuse marginal branch of the circumflex artery.
This study showed that although the presence of left main coronary artery stenosis alone is not a negative risk factor, the degree of stenosis is and that severe left main coronary artery stenosis significantly decreases the survival in medically treated patients.

 Coronary Artery DOMINANCE
The results of my angiogram were relatively benign, showing a small "single discrete lesion" in the proximal right coronary artery.
The formal diagnosis is "1 coronary artery atherosclerosis"; however, the report adds that "The RCA lesion may have been catheter spasm, which did not entirely resolve with IC NTG." Why couldn't the doctors differentiate between a pre-exiting atherosclerosis obstruction and a spasm (a clot?) caused by insertion of the catheter?
