Some of coronary artery anomalies, such as origin of all coronary arteries from three separate ostiums in the right sinus of valsalva, represent a small amount of coronary anomalies. We describe a 63-year-old female patient which coronary angiogram revealed an origin of all coronary arteries from three separate ostiums in the right sinus of valsalva, with significant atherosclerotic plaque at t...

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE), a variant of coronary artery anomalies, is a rare clinical entity. Although atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), CAE also conveys a relatively high risk for potentially life-threatening cardiac events. We report a case of a 35-year-old male with two-vessel CAE, who presented with acute inferior wa...

In the surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot, morbidity and mortality are increased by certain coronary anomalies, in particular, an anterior descending branch originating from the right coronary artery or a single coronary artery in which a large coronary branch runs across the pulmonary outflow tract. In a series of 94 patients with tetralogy of Fallot who underwent cardiac catheterization, ...

In the surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot, morvidity and mortality are increased by certain coronary anomalies, in particular, an anterior descending branch originating from the right coronary artery or a single coronary artery in which a large coronary branch runs across the pulmonary outflow tract. In series of 94 patients with tetralogy of Fallot who underwent cardiac catheterization, co...

objective(s): apolipoprotein e genotype (apoe) polymorphism affects lipid levels and coronary artery disease (cad) risk. the aim of this study was to study the association of the apolipoprotein e genotypes with coronary artery disease in the iranian population.   materials and methods: the apolipoprotein e genotype in dna samples extracted from 66 cad+ patients and 61 control subjects by restri...

Coronary artery anomalies are some of the most confusing, neglected topics in cardiology. Although the medical community and general public are increasingly aware that coronary anomalies can be fatal (typically in young, previously “healthy” athletes),1 the reasons for the sudden fatal event and the frequency with which it occurs are generally unclear. To promote a less casual approach to this ...
