Reduced blood flow occurs when one or more of these arteries become partially or completely blocked.
The four primary coronary arteries are located on the surface of the heart:
- Right main coronary artery
- Left main coronary artery
- Left circumflex artery
- Left anterior descending artery

Treatment also depends on your current health condition, risk factors, and overall wellbeing. For example, your doctor may prescribe medication therapy to treat high cholesterol or high blood pressure, or you may receive medication to control blood sugar if you have diabetes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
