- This study compared echocardiographic reports with expert reviews and surgical findings in 159 patients with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA).
- The research highlighted a lack of consistent protocols for diagnosing AAOCA, which is critical for identifying risks and planning surgical strategies due to its association with sudden death among young individuals.
- A new imaging protocol was developed to improve diagnostic accuracy, addressing notable discrepancies in data reporting and enhancing the reliability between institutional reports and expert reviews.
