Patients with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk may present with paroxysmal angina on exertion, congestive heart failure, dyspnoea, syncope or sudden death. The association of such anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk with a hypertrophic left ventricle is extremely rare. In our cohort of patients with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk, two presented with a hypertrophic left ventricle. We discuss these cases, accompanied by a review of the English literature describing different morphological anomalies of the coronary arteries associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. Whether the hypertrophy is a result of the evolvement of the collateral coronary system, or due to an additional pathological gene for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, remains an enigma. The hypertrophy may have served as a compensatory mechanism accounting for the atypical clinical presentation. We further discuss the possible factors associating the occurrence of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk and myohypertrophy, supported by the documentation of the regression of hypertrophy following surgical correction of the anomalous arterial origin as seen in our patients. |
