- We , work hard , day and night in cath labs , to remove the blocks from the suffering CAD patients
- Some treat it medically.
- Few others work in preventing CAD
- Not even a handful work on the anatomy of the problem !
How and why the human coronary arterial system behave so bizarrely ?
- From where does coronary artery originates ?
- What determines the coronary collateral seeding and genesis ?
- Why some have only anatomical collateral without functional use ?
- Why artificial neoangiogenesis has not helped much in CAD ?

- Why the COURAGE and OAT study had the surprising conclusion ?
Answers to all these lingering questions may be clarified soon !
