Occlusion of circumflex coronary artery results in Left Lateral MI. The Myocardial Infarction most commonly damages the left ventricle and its associated septum. Right ventricle damage is only if there is any occlusion of the supplying vessel. Occlusion of circumflex coronary artery results in Left Lateral MI because circumflex artery supplies left lateral wall of the heart. This also causes damage to the anterior wall of the heart.
