The coronary circulation refers to the vessels
that supply and drain the heart.
Coronary arteries are named due to the way
they encircle the heart, much like a crown.

Importance of coronary circulation:
One third of all deaths in the world result from
coronary artery disease
Almost all elderly people have at least some
impairment of the coronary artery
Circulation.
Heart uses primarily free fatty acids and to lesser
extent glucose for metabolism

tissue of the heart, while rest of the

blood fills these valve pockets, therefore
allowing blood to enter the coronary
arteries.
