Cross-sectional echocardiographic findings of anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery and left ventricular myocardial hypokinesis were visualised by cross-sectional echocardiography. Significant dilatation of the right coronary artery was another important finding. Cross-sectional echocardiography appears to be useful for evaluating patients with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.
