Anomalous origin of right coronary artery causing myocardial ischemia in a young patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anomalous right coronary artery from left coronary sinus can have dynamic narrowing and kinking causing symptoms of myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death. Surgical repair of the anomaly is required in the symptomatic patient because of risk of ischemia or ventricular arrhythmia. Asymptomatic incidentally diagnosed low-risk patients can be closely followed up with exercise restriction as per present guideline.

The anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) is a rare condition. Most RCA anomalies are usually found incidentally, but these findings have clinical significance because many patients, particularly young ones, present with sudden death, myocardial ischemia and syncope without other symptoms.

متن کاملMyocardial Ischemia Caused by Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia in a Patient with Anomalous Origin of Right Coronary Artery Arising from Left Sinus of Valsalva
Anomalous origin of a coronary artery is rare and does not generally lead to myocardial infarction and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). We report an uncommon case of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) originating from the left sinus of Valsalva with PSVT and myocardial ischemia. A 58-year-old man presented with PSVT. After arrhythmia subsided, electrocardiogram s...

Clinical and angiographic features of 31 patients with anomalous coronpary artery origin are reviewed. Of 17 aberrant circumflex arteries from the right sinus of Valsalva or artery, each was retro-aortic, six atherosclerotic, and seven irrigated a small area of myocardium. Of seven anomalous right coronary arteries from the left sinus of Valsalva or artery, each was ante-aortic and two atherosc...

Anomalous origin of the right or left coronary artery from the contralateral sinus of Valsalva is often asymptomatic, but many patients, particularly young ones, present with sudden death or myocardial ischemia without symptoms. The mechanism of sudden death in this entity is unclear and has not been fully evaluated. These anomalies are rare, and many cardiologists and radiologists are unfamili...
