Key result
Coronary angiography and cardiac tomography identified a rare anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right coronary artery in a 47-year-old female with exertional chest pain.
Demonstrates the utility of coronary angiography and cardiac tomography in diagnosing a rare anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery.
Rare left main anomaly in exertional chest pain warrants imaging vigilance; leaves open optimal management and screening strategies.
The coronary anomalies are rarely seen in clinical practice. A 47-year-old female patient presented to hospital with chest pain on exertion. The coronary angiography and cardiac tomography showed the anomalous origin of the left main from the right coronary artery.
