F     FOOTNOTES-1

When blocked  to the point of   interrupting the blood flow aimed at the rest of the heart and general circulation, collateral vessels can take over by becoming bigger and active so that two sources of blood can continue to provide  nutrients to this  portion of the heart. That  can happen with the narrowing of the coronary vessels like in smoking and diabetes mellitus. Shortly, collateral vessels are instrumental for survival in case of MI.
