In medicine, the coronary arteries are the arteries that supply blood to the heart.^[1]

Left main coronary

• Left anterior descending (LAD)
  • Branches are called the septals and diagonals
• Ramus intermedius arises from the left main between the LAD and the circumflex in some people.
• Circumflex
  • Branches are called the obtuse marginals
  • In a minority of people, the circumflex provides the posterior descending artery.
