Which artery supplies the anterior ventricular walls and laterodorsal part of left side heart?

The left anterior descending artery (LAD) supplies the anterior ventricular walls and laterodorsal part of the left side of the heart. The LAD is one of the three major coronary arteries, along with the left circumflex artery (LCX) and the right coronary artery (RCA). The LAD arises from the left main coronary artery, which is the first branch of the aorta. The LAD runs down the anterior interventricular sulcus, which is a groove between the left and right ventricles of the heart. The LAD supplies blood to the anterior wall of the left ventricle, the anterior papillary muscle, and the lateral and dorsal walls of the left atrium.
