Medical (general)
cardiology - coronary angiography
I can't tell if this is written incorrectly, or just something I haven't encountered before. The coronary angiography report says:
"TC sin lesiones. DA calcificada sin lesiones significativas. CX *dominada con* lesiones difusas en segmento proximal y medio. CD dominante calcificada con suboclusión en ... etc."
So "dominada" is not a typo for "dominante" because they use "dominante" a bit farther down in the report. I also can't tell if "dominada" describes the circumflex artery or if it's part of a phrase that is telling us that the circumflex is "dominada con lesiones" ( I hope that distinction is clear. ) Possibly the word "dominada" contrasts with "dominante" ... but again, I don't understand it / have never seen it before.
What does it mean here, and how would we translate it?
Thank you.

non-dominant with
I think that of your two possible ways of parsing this, the former is more likely: in other words it is:
CX dominada — con lesiones, and not
CX — dominada con lesiones
This seems to me to fit the sequence in your document, where it takes each vessel and then reports its state:
TC — sin lesiones.
DA — calcificada — sin lesiones significativas.
CX — dominada — con lesiones difusas en segmento proximal y medio.
CD — dominante — calcificada con suboclusión
So the phrases "sin lesiones" and "con lesiones" are reporting on the state of the vessels in question. The CX dominada has lesions.
Another point militating strongly against reading it as "dominada con lesiones" is that, as Liz says, it would be "dominada por" if it meant "dominated by". I can't find a single instance of "dominado/a con" in this sense and I don't think it would be said.
Speaking of an artery as "dominada" is very unusual, but not quite unprecedented. In this PowerPoint on locating the artery responsible for a infarction, which is pretty well incomprehensible to a layman like me, we do have reproductions of what I take to be ECG output (examples, not all from the same patient, I think) with features marked corresponding to different vessels, which include "circunfleja dominante" and "circunfleja dominada": not "dominada" by anything, just "dominada". It's slide 16 of 20:

So I think "dominada" and "dominante" are equivalent but antithetical terms. Obviously CX dominante would mean dominant circumflex. This patient, however, has a dominant RCA (as most people do), so he/she has a non-dominant CX, and I think that's most probably what "dominada" means. It's a little strange but not totally unreasonable, since a dominant RCA means that the RCA, not the CX, supplies the PDA, and in this situation the CX could, in a sense, be described as "dominated" by the RCA.
Anyway, there's no doubt that "non-dominant CX" or "non-dominant circumflex" make perfect sense in themselves, and there's hardly any need to quote examples.
"Coronary artery dominance
The artery that supplies the posterior descending artery (PDA) determines the coronary dominance.
If the posterior descending artery is supplied by the right coronary artery (RCA), then the coronary circulation can be classified as "right-dominant".
If the posterior descending artery is supplied by the circumflex artery (CX), a branch of the left artery, then the coronary circulation can be classified as "left-dominant".
If the posterior descending artery is supplied by both the right coronary artery and the circumflex artery, then the coronary circulation can be classified as "co-dominant"."

Another case of "dominada":
"En dicha prueba se detecta una estenosis distal en el Tronco común del 20%, una Arteria circunfleja dominada con una estenosis media del 70% y una Arteria coronaria derecha dominante con una oclusión proximal (Enfermedad de tres vasos)."
http://www.capitulodeflebologia.org/beca_leo/2010/1005030056...
Compare, for example:
" Tronco de la coronaria izquierda (CI) con lesión en cuerpo y distal [...].
• Arteria descendente anterior (DA) con lesión ostial en el segmento proximal [...].
• Arteria circunfleja (Cx) no dominante, sin lesiones significativas en el segmento proximal, con lesión ostial y proximal de la primera marginal [...].
• Coronaria derecha (CD) dominante, con lesión ostial del 60% [...]."

Hi Joseph. Well, I think it's plausible. It would be great to have a Spanish-speaking cardiologist's view.

Note from asker:
Hi Charles. After I slept on it I thought that "dominada" might mean non-dominant as compared to the dominant right coronary artery. |
Thanks again ... used it again today. |

Coronary Artery *with predominant* wide spread...
I believe it could mean "with predominant" as it seems to fit into the text.
But look forward to seeing what others says with more experience.

Note from asker:
Hi Luke. Thanks for your suggestion ... and consider that it cannot be "with widespread" because "widespread" would be an adjective describing the lesions, whereas "dominadA" (a singular, feminine adjective) can only be describing the "arteria circunfleja" (feminine noun). |

Reference:
Which artery gives off the PDA?
If this is mentioned in the text, it will clarify which is the dominant artery although as Charles said, most people have right dominance.
http://www.fac.org.ar/ccvc/llave/tl120/tl120.pdf
Dominancia de la circulación coronaria: La circulación coronaria es de dominancia derecha o izquierda
dependiendo si la CD o la CX, respectivamente, da origen a la descendente posterior y la posteroventricular.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_coronary_artery
In 85% of patients (Right Dominant), the RCA gives off the posterior descending artery (PDA). In the other 15% of cases (Left Dominant), the PDA is given off by the left circumflex artery.
