Coronary arteries receive the majority of arterial blood supply during diastole, the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart muscle relaxes. During this time, the aortic valve closes, allowing blood to flow back into the coronary arteries from the aorta. This is crucial for supplying oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle itself, ensuring its proper function and health.
