  • In daily clinical practice, side branch territory is mostly determined by angiography.
  • Vessel size is commonly used, but has several limitations in defining true myocardial territory.
  • Branch number and dominancy (relative and absolute) are the key determinants of vessel territory.
  • Applying this simple approach (nomogram and/or decision tree) will enhance the identification ofclinically relevant diagonal branches.
