If you google “heart segments” you’ll likely find a circular diagram that is divided into numbered segments. In some of these diagrams they identify areas of the heart served by the LAD and RCA. This might be helpful for you. When I had a heart attack, a later MRI showed that 5 of my LAD segments were “non viable” so this diagram was helpful in visualising the exact area of damage.
or this could be the segments of the ECG??
