Single left coronary artery with origin of right coronary artery from left circumflex: a case report

BACKGROUND: A 40-years-old female presented with intermittent chest pain and dyspnea on exertion. CASE PRESENTATION: Electrocardiography showed sinus rhythm with ST-depression in inferior and lateral leads. Subsequent exercise treadmill testing revealed significant ST-depression in V4–V5 and V6 lead...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: A 40-years-old female presented with intermittent chest pain and dyspnea on exertion. CASE PRESENTATION: Electrocardiography showed sinus rhythm with ST-depression in inferior and lateral leads. Subsequent exercise treadmill testing revealed significant ST-depression in V4–V5 and V6 leads. Coronary angiography later showed a single left coronary artery with right coronary artery arising from left circumflex artery, a rare anomaly of coronary arteries. No atheromatous lesion was seen during angiography. CONCLUSION: The dignosis of this anomaly is importsnt because the symptoms cannot be differentiated from atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
