Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Chest pain in a young person without cardiovascular risk factors is usually attributed to noncoronary causes; however, if the history suggests ischemic pain, the potential presence of unusual cardiovascular abnormalities should not be disregarded. The present case describes a young man with solitary congenital ostial atresia of right coronary artery, who to our knowledge is only the second case in the medical literature. Manifestation of ischemic symptoms in a relatively advanced age in patients with coronary artery atresia may mislead clinicians to interpret them as signs of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Therefore congenital coronary artery atresia should be a part of the differential diagnosis particularly in young patients with ischemic symptoms and no cardiovascular risk factors. |
