This knowledgement may help in understanding some of ischemic heart diseases and its consequences on cardiac surgery.
Objective: To know the incidence of anatomical variations of left circumflex coronary artery origin among people in Basrah.
Patients and Method: Prospective study of the coronary angiography carried out in cardiac catheterization center at Al-Sader Teaching Hospital during period from 5th of October 2012 to end of June 2013. A sample of 315 patients was recruited with normal coronary angiography.
