A member asked:
Can you tell me how the coronary arteries fill with blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In diastole, mean coronary pressure falls below aortic diastolic pressure and blood follows this pressure gradient flowing from the aortic root into the coronary ostia where they are located.
