Which coronary artery is identified by the arrow on this image?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The arrow points to the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, which runs in the anterior interventricular groove toward the apex of the heart. It supplies the anterior wall of the left ventricle.

The right coronary artery runs in the right atrioventricular groove. The left main coronary artery is proximal to the LAD and circumflex arteries. The circumflex artery runs in the left atrioventricular groove posteriorly.

This identification is detailed in the 'Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography, 6e', Chapter on Coronary Artery Anatomy and Echocardiographic Visualization20:150-155Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography.

This reminds me of a practice question where we had to identify the circumflex artery. I wonder if this is similar?

I think the arrow might be pointing to the Left anterior descending, but I'm not entirely sure.
