Flow of coronary blood is important in enhancing the cardiac function. When acute events or disease states take place, which hinder coronary flow, outcomes are usually damaging or fatal. If coronary flow of blood goes below the required for metabolic needs, the myocardium is regarded as ischemic, where there is impairment of the heart’s pumping capability. There are as well alterations in electrical activity such as increased fibrillation risk. Lengthy ischemia can result in a heart attack that can lead to irreversible death of myocardial cell (Alexander, Schlant and Fuster).
The coronary system comprises of the heart's arterioles, ...
