Abstract:
Coronary artery anomalies are rare congenital variants of coronary artery anatomy accounting second most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young competitive athletes. A single ostium coronary artery anomalous is an extremely rare variant with an incidence of less than 0.004%. They may present as chest pain, arrhythmia, or sudden death. Recently, advanced imaging techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging coronary angiography are becoming the alternatives investigation for diagnosis. We reported a rare case of 50 years old lady who presented with acute chest pain with normal electrocardiography, echocardiography, and cardiac markers. Coronary Computed tomography angiography revealed anomalous coronary artery anatomy with both right and left coronary artery arising from the large common trunk of the right coronary cusp, left main coronary artery having trans-septal course, there was no flow-limiting coronary artery disease. She was medically managed with a single antiplatelet, beta-blocker, and statin therapy.
