Article Synopsis
- Coronary artery anomalies (CAA) are congenital defects and the second leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young people, following hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
- Symptoms can vary widely, from chest pain and fainting to no symptoms at all, with a prevalence in the general population estimated at 1-2%.
- Many cases go undiagnosed due to a lack of awareness, and CAAs are responsible for a significant portion of myocardial infarctions without traditional atherosclerotic disease, mainly presenting in patients who are often asymptomatic.
