Anomalous coronary arteries are rare, mostly benign anatomic abnormalities. Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva (LCA-RSV) is a rare variant that may lead to myocardial ischemia or sudden cardiac death. We present the case of a 49-year-old patient with a history of type 2 diabetes and smoking who presented to the emergency department with acute chest pain and was diagnosed with inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated inferolateral wall motion abnormalities of the left ventricle. The patient underwent cardiac catheterization that showed an anomalous left main coronary artery originating from the right sinus of Valsalva, alongside atherosclerotic triple-vessel disease. He was discharged home on medical management, including dual antiplatelet therapy, beta blockers, and statins, with scheduled follow-up.
异常冠状动脉较为罕见,大多是良性解剖异常。左主冠状动脉起源于瓦尔萨尔瓦右窦(LCA-RSV)是一种罕见的变异,可能导致心肌缺血或心源性猝死。我们报告一例49岁患者,有2型糖尿病和吸烟史,因急性胸痛就诊于急诊科,被诊断为下壁ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)。经胸超声心动图显示左心室下外侧壁运动异常。该患者接受了心脏导管检查,结果显示左主冠状动脉起源于瓦尔萨尔瓦右窦,同时伴有动脉粥样硬化性三支血管病变。他在接受包括双联抗血小板治疗、β受体阻滞剂和他汀类药物在内的药物治疗后出院,并安排了随访。
