摘要

Anomalous coronary arteries are a rare but recognized cause of myocardial ischemia and sudden death. Most patients with coronary anomalies remain asymptomatic because the anomaly either does not produce any symptoms during life or the first manifestation is sudden death. Noninvasive imaging plays crucial role in diagnosis of the potentially life threatening coronary anomalies.
