The Left Circumflex (LCX) artery is an essential component of the heart's arterial system, and its assessment in a Coronary Calcium Scan provides significant insights into cardiovascular health.

2022年7月28日 · The circumflex artery delivers oxygenated blood to your heart’s left pumping chambers. Plaque can build up in the circumflex artery, leading to a type of coronary artery disease called bifurcation blockage.

2024年2月6日 · The circumflex artery (Cx) is one of the two major coronary arteries that arise from the bifurcation of the left main coronary artery (the other branch being the left anterior descending (LAD) artery). The circumflex artery can be referred to by multiple terms: Often it is colloquially called the 'circ'.

2022年12月5日 · The circumflex artery, sometimes called the left circumflex artery (LCX), is the posterior division of the left coronary artery. Located in the coronary sinus between the left atrium and ventricle, it wraps around the left cardiac margin crossing from the sternocostal (anterior) to the diaphragmatic (inferior) surface of the heart.

2017年4月2日 · LCX occlusions are an underdiagnosed clinical entity in ACS management. Despite non-diagnostic ECG findings, total LCX occlusion should be considered in clinical presentations consistent with ACS.

2025年1月18日 · One of the anatomical variants of coronary artery origin comprises the left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) and left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) arising separately from the left aortic sinus.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with occlusion of the left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) poses diagnostic problems that may lead to a delay in reperfusion. From a group of 1,269 consecutive patients with ACS, 138 patients with ACS due to LCX ...

2023年12月28日 · Left circumflex (LCx) arising from right coronary sinus (RCA) is a coronary arterial variant. It is considered the most common coronary anomaly with prevalence range of around 0.37-1.3 % of all patients. According to some publications, anomalous LCx is divided into 3 types 9. type II: common ostia in the right sinus.

We report two cases of rare left circumflex artery (LCX) anomalies: one case of absent LCX with super-dominant right coronary artery (RCA) and another of anomalous origin of LCX from right coronary sinus. Case 1: A 48-year-old woman presented with exertional dyspnoea. Echocardiography was normal.

The left circumflex artery (LCx) is smaller than the left anterior descending artery (LAD). It takes a course in the left portion of the coronary sulcus, looping around the left margin of the heart and reaching the inferior surface and posterior surface.
