        abstract = {Coronary circulation plays a vital role in sustaining heart function by providing oxygenated blood to the myocardium. This system includes the coronary arteries, veins, and capillary networks. The right and left coronary arteries arise from the ascending aorta, delivering blood to different heart regions. The left coronary artery branches into the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) and Left Circumflex (LCX) arteries, while the Right Coronary Artery (RCA) supplies the right heart and parts of the left heart through branches like the Right Marginal Artery and Posterior Descending Artery (PDA). Venous drainage occurs via the coronary sinus, with tributaries such as the Great, Middle, and Small Cardiac veins. Due to the heart's high oxygen demand, coronary circulation adjusts dynamically to meet metabolic needs through auto-regulation, neural mechanisms, and hormonal influences. This ensures efficient blood flow during increased demand (e.g., exercise) and rest, with perfusion mainly occurring in diastole. Impaired coronary circulation leads to conditions such as coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery spasm, and heart failure. CAD and MI, caused by atherosclerosis and blockages, are significant health concerns, especially in India, where cardiovascular diseases are prevalent. Timely interventions and lifestyle changes are crucial for managing these conditions effectively.},
