Some people also have collateral arteries, which go around blockages in much the same way road detours work.

I've heard of this but never really looked into it. Have you run across anything that describes it well?

Wouldn't it be great if these could be identified by some imaging. Do they show up on a traditional angiogram? Would be some peace of mind to know that these are in place in your heart. (I know you'd never do an angiogram just for this, but I wonder if they show up.)
