Different people have different layouts of coronary arteries. Sounds strange I know, but there are different groups people are put into, depending which of their arteries are dominant or co-dominant or non-dominant. I for example am Co-dominant where the left and right arteries share equal amounts of the heart, supplying it with oxygen. Some are left dominant where the LAD and LCX supply most of the back of the heart. Some are right dominant where the RCA does this job. You simply have a dominant right side which supplies the back of the heart and I believe probably the AV node too. It's really just the way your plumbing is made up and is of no concern at all. Your LCX will be a relatively short vessel compared to someone who is left dominant because the LCX comes from the LAD (left anterior descending).
As to what care you should take, the same as anyone else who has had signs of heart disease. Keep cholesterol low, exercise, healthy diet, avoid stress and keep blood pressure normal.
I hope this helps
