چکیده
We present a case of incidentally discovered congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA), initially seen on stress-rest myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). ccTGA has a characteristic appearance on MPI, which reflects the functional alterations associated with this condition.

Background Late failure of systemic right and single ventricles is difficult to predict. Approximately 1/3 of subjects with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) have congestive heart failure by the fifth decade and 2/3 of subjects with ccTGA and significant associated defects have congestive heart failure by the age of 45 years. Perfusion defects have been identifi...
