Anterior Interventricular Artery: The anterior interventricular artery supplies the heart, or myocardium, with blood. The chambers of the heart need a large supply of freshly oxygenated blood to function properly and effectively pump blood to the rest of organs and areas of the body. Blood flows from the heart into the aorta into the left coronary artery, which branches into the anterior interventricular artery and the left circumflex artery. Blood further flows from the anterior interventricular artery into arterial branches and coronary capillaries, where oxygen is released into the heart muscle, or myocardium.
Conditions that afflict the anterior interventricular artery include myocardial infarction, heart disease, angina, cardiac arrest, hypertension and atherosclerosis.
