Relation of amounts of narrowing to the length of the right coronary artery

Various studies have suggested that certain geometric features in the coronary arteries could be regarded as risk factors for antherosclerosis; however, no examination of the length of the right coronary artery as a geometric risk factor has been conducted so far. In this study, a very significant a...

Zusammenfassung:	Various studies have suggested that certain geometric features in the coronary arteries could be regarded as risk factors for antherosclerosis; however, no examination of the length of the right coronary artery as a geometric risk factor has been conducted so far. In this study, a very significant association has been found between a short right coronary artery and the disease.
