Abstract

|
|
Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) syndrome is a rare congenital coronary artery anomaly. Clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic conditions to sudden death with exertion. The majority of cases is diagnosed in childhood and dies within the first year, however medical literature has confirmed several cases in adults. We report a case of a 49-year-old woman hospitalized for vague chest pain. Echocardiography found collateral circulation on the anterior wall, and ALCAPA syndrome was diagnosed on multislice CT.
