Hola, te envío una página de la American heart Association de ejemplo:

"AHA Recommendation 
The pros and cons of coronary arteriography vary with every patient. The physician and patient should discuss this procedure. In general, it's very safe when it's done by experienced physicians in hospital laboratories. The information gained helps the physician select the best treatment for a patient." (ref abajo)

ADA: arteria descendente anterior. En inglés, left anterior descending artery.

Otro ejemplito:

"left anterior descending artery (LAD) 
The left anterior descending artery branches off the left coronary artery and supplies blood to the front of the heart. " (2ª ref).

En esta ref hay un dibujo de las arterias coronarias, por si te intersa.

Q82. What is myotonic dystrophy? Can it be treated?

A. Myotonic dystrophy is a disease that usually affects adults but may have its onset in childhood. It is characterised by progressive weakness (dystrophy) and inability to relax muscles after contraction (myotonia). Additionally, this disease may include cataracts, diabetes, gonadal atrophy, personality changes, and a variety of other systemic conditions. No treatment is available for the weakness, but several drugs are effective in relieving the myotonic aspect of this disease. Myotonic dystrophy should be distinguished from myotonia congenita (Thomsen's disease), a familial condition characterised by myotonia and larges muscles; and from paramyotonia congenita, where myotonia and weakness are precipitated by exposure to cold.
