Conclusion
The diagnosis of this coronary anomaly is important because its symptoms can mimic those of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
Supporting Evidence
- Coronary artery anomalies are often discovered incidentally during angiography.
- Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery can lead to angina pectoris or myocardial infarction.
- The prevalence of this anomaly is significantly higher in some populations compared to others.
Takeaway
A woman had chest pain and doctors found a rare heart artery problem instead of the usual heart disease.
Methodology
The patient underwent electrocardiography, echocardiography, exercise treadmill testing, and coronary angiography.
Limitations
The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
Participant Demographics
A 40-year-old female with no significant past medical history.
