Anomalous origin of coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital heart defect that can lead to serious complications, including myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death.
Postmortem examination of the heart revealed mild left ventricular hypertrophy with no evidence of myocyte disarray. There was an anomalous origin to the right coronary artery from the left aortic ...
These anomalies pass between the aorta and the pulmonary artery (known as an interarterial course) which can cause compression. Coronary anomalies are the second leading cause of sudden cardiac ...
Although most are benign, an anomalous coronary artery that passes between the aorta and the pulmonary artery — known as an interarterial course — may be subject to compression, causing ...
The arrow indicates mild stenosis in the proximal RCA. Multislice computed tomographic angiogram of an anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) that originates from the left coronary sinus.
Anomalous coronary artery, such as anomalous origin of the circumflex coronary artery from the right coronary sinus, have been known to cause myocardial ischemia especially when the anomalous ...
These included: anomalous left coronary artery (20%), Kawasaki disease (14%), myocarditis (13%), neontatal critical aortic stenosis (11%), ventricular tumor (5.5%), dilategd cardiomyopathy (4% ...
Greece Objectives Congenital coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) have been incriminated as the second cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among young athletes, probably provoked by myocardial ischemia.
