description Chest pain is one of the common complaints a patient presents to the healthcare provider. It needs prompt evaluation to determine the cause and origin. Angina occurs when myocardial oxygen demand exceeds oxygen supply; the clinical manifestation is often chest discomfort. Atherosclerotic disease is the major cause of angina. However, several non-atherosclerotic conditions have been studied and reported in the literature that causes angina in rarity. We describe a case of coronary artery fistula (CAF) likely causing angina.
