"when the right coronary artery gives rise to the posterior descending artery, this defines a right dominant circulation (70% population)"

Line 8:101 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'right dominant '

"contribution from both the right coronary artery and left circumflex artery defines a co-dominant circulation (20%)"

Line 9:101 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'co-dominant'

"the least common (10%) variant is a left dominant circulation in which the left circumflex artery continues as the PDA"

Line 10:44 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'left dominant'

Semicolons

suggestion

"After a sharply horizontal course from the aorta, the proximal segment of the right coronary artery courses inferiorly and to the right, posterior to the pulmonary trunk and beneath the right atrial appendage. The mid-right coronary artery curves inferiorly within the plane of the atrioventricular groove. The distal segment curves toward the cardiac crux as it travels along the posterior interventricular groove, with a subsequent bifurcation forming the posterior left ventricular branch and the posterior descending artery (PDA); the formation of the latter defines coronary arterial dominance ⁵."

Line 6:572 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"In angiography and CTCA, the RCAis described as having proximal, mid and distal segments:"

Line 12:59 · Use the Oxford comma in 'proximal, mid and distal'.

"posterior left ventricular branches (PLV, PLB or PLA)"

Line 42:53 · Use the Oxford comma in 'PLV, PLB or PLA'.
