The LCX follows the posterior AV-groove giving rise to obtuse marginal branches supplying the posterolateral wall op the heart. As described before in some cases the LCX also supplies the sinus node via a left atrial branch. In left dominant circulation the circumflex supplies the inferior interventricular septum via a descendens posterior artery.
