Oxygen-rich blood supply to the heart muscle through coronary arteries.

What it is

Coronary blood flow is the oxygen-rich blood that reaches heart muscle through the coronary arteries.^[1]

Why it matters

Coronary heart disease occurs when coronary arteries cannot deliver enough oxygen-rich blood to heart muscle because of narrowing from plaque.^[1]

What it affects

Reduced supply can frame chest-pain, heart-attack, stress-test, imaging, and troponin discussions, but BioConst does not interpret symptoms.^[1,2]

Interpretation traps

A coronary-flow problem is a clinical context, not something a webpage can confirm or rule out.^[1]
