Left side dominant heart?

A left side dominant heart refers to a heart in which the left ventricle is the predominant chamber, typically receiving the majority of the blood supply from the coronary arteries. In a left dominant coronary circulation, the left coronary artery supplies not only the left side of the heart but also the majority of the right side via the posterior descending artery. This anatomical variation can impact blood flow and the heart's overall function. It's essential for clinicians to understand these variations for accurate diagnosis and treatment of cardiac conditions.

Is it more common to be right brained dominant or left brain dominant?

I'm not sure but I would say "Left brained". They say that the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body and the right side of your brain controls the left side. Most people are right handed and their dominant eye is their right one. Therefore I would guess it's the left.
