Left Pulmonary Artery – Mnemonic [ NEVER FORGET AGAIN ]

• L – Left Pulmonary Artery: This artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the left lung.
• E – Ejection Fraction: It’s important to assess the ejection fraction of the heart when dealing with the Left Pulmonary Artery, as it can impact blood flow.
• F – Fibrosis: Conditions like pulmonary fibrosis can affect the functioning of the left pulmonary artery.
• T – Thoracic Aorta: The left pulmonary artery is located near the thoracic aorta in the chest.
• P – Pulmonary Hypertension: Elevated pressure in the pulmonary arteries, including the left pulmonary artery, can lead to health issues.
• U – Ultrasound: Ultrasonography can be used to visualize and assess the left pulmonary artery’s condition.
• L – Lung Perfusion: The left pulmonary artery plays a crucial role in lung perfusion, supplying blood to the left lung.
• M – Murmur: Abnormal heart murmurs may be associated with issues in the left pulmonary artery.
• O – Oxygenation: The left pulmonary artery is involved in oxygenating the blood as it enters the lungs.
• N – Narrowing: Stenosis or narrowing of the left pulmonary artery can restrict blood flow.
• A – Arteriography: Angiography can be used to visualize the left pulmonary artery for diagnostic purposes.
• R – Resistance: The left pulmonary artery encounters resistance in the lungs as it delivers blood for oxygenation.
• Y – Yawning: Remember that the left pulmonary artery helps deliver oxygen to the body during every breath, even during a yawn
