Multiple coronary artery-left ventricular fistulae, a rare condition, are presented in three women. This study suggests a potential link between these fistulae and apical hypertrophy, a condition not previously reported together.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Cardiovascular Medicine
Medical Imaging

Background:

Coronary arterio-systemic fistulae are uncommon vascular anomalies.
Multiple fistulae involving the left ventricle are particularly rare.
The co-occurrence with apical hypertrophy has not been previously documented.

Observation:

Three cases of women diagnosed with multiple coronary artery-left ventricular fistulae via angiography are presented.
All patients exhibited apical hypertrophy.
This specific association was noted in all three cases.

Findings:

The study identifies a novel association between multiple congenital coronary artery-left ventricular fistulae and apical hypertrophy.
Angiography confirmed the presence of these fistulae and the cardiac abnormality.

The findings suggest this association may be more than coincidental.

Implications:

The reported association may indicate a pathophysiological link between coronary microcirculation abnormalities and myocardial hypertrophy.
Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this connection.
This finding could influence diagnostic and treatment strategies for patients with similar conditions.
