Abstract: The coronary artery disease is on rise in both developed and developing countries, and is associated with high mortality and morbidity in the globe. Coronary dominance is one of the key indicator of patient outcomes in coronary artery disease. The coronary dominance is also key in interpretation of the coronary arteries investigations and in the management plan of coronary artery diseases. A recent study showed that patient with left coronary dominance are at risk of developing coronary artery disease, therefore this systemic review is crucial in assessment of the anatomical know how on coronary dominance in different geographical regions. The average occurrence of the Right coronary dominance was 71.4%, with left coronary dominance at 15.5% and codominance at 12.8%. However there was a great variation of the dominance among different populations in different geographical region assessed.
Keywords: Coronary artery, dominance, Codominance, anatomical variation, posterior interventricular branch (PIB).
