Examples of antegrade coronary artery flow in the LM and proximal parts of LAD. (A) In modified parasternal short-axis view the left main coronary artery (LM) is seen leaving the left sinus of Valsalva and continuing as the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) turning slightly towards the transducer. (B) In modified parasternal short-axis view the first septal branch (SB) is seen leaving the LAD. Ao = aortic root; LA = left atrium; LAA = left atrial appendage; PA = pulmonary artery.
