The anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital heart disease that affects 1 of 300,000 live births. We present the case of an 18-year-old female presenting with chest pain and dyspnea after vigorous exercise, and whose two-dimensional echocardiogram initially displayed a "normal connection" between the left coronary artery with the aortic sinus of Valsalva. Using a systematic diagnostic echocardiography approach, we rightfully diagnosed it as anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.
左冠状动脉起源于肺动脉是一种罕见的先天性心脏病，每30万例活产中约有1例受其影响。我们报告一例18岁女性病例，该患者在剧烈运动后出现胸痛和呼吸困难，其二维超声心动图最初显示左冠状动脉与主动脉窦之间存在“正常连接”。通过系统的诊断性超声心动图方法，我们正确地将其诊断为左冠状动脉起源于肺动脉。
