The circumflex artery is one of the other arteries in the heart (supplies the left hand side mainly). Moderate disease essentially means you have coronary artery disease (blocked arteries) - so they are narrower than they should be, but not yet in need of immediate treatment (at least that is my interpretation from an entirely non medically trained point of view).

Left Anterior Descending ( LAD ), Circumflex ( Circ ) and Right Coronary Artery ( RCA ) are the three main arteries supplying the heart. The LAD is known colloquially as the 'widow maker'
