Low values of tortuosity, smaller cross-sectional area and higher angle of the right-ventricular branch leads to a hemodynamic behavior more propitious to atherosclerosis formation, within the study cases. The right-ventricular branch seems to have the highest influence in the hemodynamic behavior of the right coronary artery.
