Cardiac MRI demonstrated a transmural infarction in a patient with an anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery, linking sudden cardiac arrest to demand ischaemia.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates a rare case of transmural infarction and sudden cardiac arrest caused by demand ischemia in a patient with an anomalous right coronary artery.
Anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery poses serious risks when involving high-risk features such as a long intramural course or a slit-like orifice, with demand ischaemia as the likely pathophysiology of sudden cardiac arrest. This case links sudden cardiac arrest to demand ischaemia, confirmed by cardiac MRI showing a transmural infarct in the right coronary artery territory. This is a rare case demonstrating transmural infarction in a patient with an anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery, as demonstrated by cardiac MRI findings.
McIntyre et al. (Fri,) conducted a case report in Anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery (n=1). Cardiac MRI was evaluated. Cardiac MRI demonstrated a transmural infarction in a patient with an anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery, linking sudden cardiac arrest to demand ischaemia.
