>>>>The collaterals develop very slowly and are usually quite small to bypass native blockages and a small plaque rupture would have occluded the entire flow to the LV wall which in essence is your entire ejection fraction.

  As the artery becomes blocked, smaller ones form and find a way around the blockage. The body is an amazing machine! This is not something that happens overnight. Good for Larry to go to the doc before something much worse happened.
