Salam 🫀 *CTO of the Right Coronary Artery (RCA)* refers to a *Chronic Total Occlusion*, which is a complete blockage of the artery that has persisted for *more than three months*. The RCA supplies blood to critical areas of the heart, including the right atrium, right ventricle, and parts of the conduction system. When it's totally blocked, blood flow is severely restricted, which can lead to symptoms like: - Chest pain (angina) - Shortness of breath - Fatigue - Increased risk of heart attack *
