RCA most commonly means the **right coronary artery** in cardiovascular medicine. It is one of the main **coronary arteries** that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. Clinicians refer to the RCA in heart attack evaluation, coronary artery disease assessment, and cardiac procedures. RCA can also appear in imaging reports, cath lab notes, and operative summaries.
