Key result
Anterior mitral valve leaflet prolapse serves as a key diagnostic sign for ALCAPA syndrome.
Why the study?
ALCAPA syndrome is a rare congenital coronary abnormality carrying a poor prognosis.
Anterior mitral valve leaflet prolapse may serve as a key diagnostic clue for suspecting ALCAPA syndrome.
Anterior mitral prolapse may prompt ALCAPA consideration; case series leaves open diagnostic value pending validation.
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA syndrome) is a rare congenital coronary abnormality carrying a poor prognosis. We present a clinical case series of ALCAPA-related anterior mitral valve leaflet prolapse and discuss its mechanism as a key to suspicion of ALCAPA syndrome.
