Abstract
Congenital coronary artery (CA) anomalies might be isolated or in in association with other congenital heart defects and carry a risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young individuals and athletes. There are various classifications for CA anomalies but clinically they are categorized based on anatomy or the potential to cause myocardial ischemia. Anatomic subtypes include coronary ostial anomaly/hypoplasia/atresia, anomalies of origin or course of the CA or absence/hypoplasia of the CA.
Secundum type atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common form of atrial septal defects but concomitant coronary artery anomaly is rare. Here we report incidental finding of associated coronary abnormality in a young patient with ASD.
