The posterolateral artery is involved in supplying oxygenated blood to the posterior and lateral walls of the left ventricle, as well as potentially to the posteromedial papillary muscle and adjacent myocardium.
What conditions may be associated with the posterolateral artery?
Myocardial infarction involving the posterior or lateral left ventricle, coronary artery disease, or ischemia detected on cardiac stress testing may be associated with stenosis or occlusion of the posterolateral artery.
