Figure 1

Failures in reflection of the variability in RCA blood supply to the LV in the SYNTAX score. (a) The RCA did not supply blood to the LV, which was defined as left dominant in the SYNTAX score. (b)–(f) The RCA, varying greatly in size, supplied blood to the LV, which was defined as right dominant and was assigned the same weighting in the SYNTAX score. LV = left ventricle; RCA = right coronary artery.
