The coronary arteries can constrict as a response to various stimuli, mostly chemical. This is known as a coronary reflex. There is also a rare condition known as spontaneous coronary artery dissection, in which the wall of one of the coronary arteries tears, causing severe pain. [10]
The right coronary artery supplies oxygenated blood to the right atrium, the right ventricle, and the posterior third and inferior end of the interventricular septum. [2] [5] It may also supply 25% to 35% of the left ventricle (LV). [10] There is significant overlap of supply of the coronary arteries. [2]
Variant anatomy. The sinoatrial nodal artery, sinoatrial nodal artery or sinoatrial artery is an artery of the heart which supplies the sinoatrial node, the natural pacemaker center of the heart. It is usually a branch of the right coronary artery. [1] It passes between the right atrium, and the opening of the superior vena cava. [2]
The atrial branches of right coronary artery derive from the right coronary artery and provide part of the blood supply to the right atrium and left atrium. Although named for the right coronary artery in Terminologia anatomica , a portion of the blood supply to the atria derives from the Circumflex branch of left coronary artery .

The right marginal branch is the largest branch to split off from the right coronary artery. [1] [2] It often anastomoses with the nearby parallel posterior interventricular artery, which itself is usually a continuation of the right coronary artery. [3]
