Occlusion of circumflex coronary artery results in:
  1. Posterior wall infarction
  2. Inferior MI
  3. Anterior MI
  4. Left Lateral MI
Explanation
Answer- D - Occlusion of circumflex coronary artery results in Left Lateral MI. The Myocardial Infarction most commonly damages the left ventricle and its associated septum.

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.
