Repeated Aborted Sudden Cardiac Death with Long QT Syndrome in a Patient with Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery from the Left Coronary Cusp
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 15-year-old female with a prior history of aborted cardiac death and surgical correction of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) presented with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Her electrocardiogram after defibrillation was suggestive of congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS). The patient was treated with a β-blocker and remained free from ventricular arrhythmia during the follow-up of more than 6 months. Here, we present the case of a young female with repeated aborted cardiac death accompanied by anomalous origin of the RCA and congenital LQTS for the first time.

We report a case of anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery resulting in stress-induced cardiac arrest. The patient collapsed after running a 5K race and was resuscitated. Subsequent workup revealed the culprit anatomy, which was successfully treated with surgical ligation. To the authors' knowledge, this is only the second case of this va...
