	The heart is supplied of oxygen and nutrients by the right and left coronary arteries.The left coronray artery(the '''Mainstem''' or LM, left main) divides itself in the '''left anterior descending''' artery (LAD) and the '''ramus circumflexus''' (RCX). The '''right coronary artery''' (RCA) connects to the ramus descendens posterior (RDP). With 20% of the normal population the RDP is supplied by the RCX. This called '''left dominance'''.
