A single coronary artery is a rare heart defect found during angiography. This summary details three new cases, highlighting associated conditions like ventricular septal defects and ischemic heart disease.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Congenital Heart Disease
Coronary Circulation Abnormalities

Background:

A single coronary artery (SCA) is a rare congenital anomaly.
It occurs in approximately 0.09% of individuals.
SCA is often an incidental finding during coronary angiography.

Observation:

The authors present three new cases of SCA.
One case involved a patient with a ventricular septal defect (VSD).
Another case was associated with ischemic heart disease.

Findings:

Two of the three patients had positive results on exercise stress testing.
These findings suggest potential clinical significance of SCA, even when asymptomatic.
The co-occurrence of SCA with VSD and ischemic heart disease warrants further investigation.

Implications:

This highlights the importance of recognizing SCA during cardiac evaluations.
Further research is needed to understand the long-term prognosis and management of SCA.
Early detection and management may improve outcomes for patients with associated cardiac conditions.
