AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Intercoronary continuity is a rare variance of coronary circulation. The importance of this rare anomaly is unknown. We present this rare anomaly in a patient with acute myocardial infarction.

Arterial blood supply of the ostrich (struthio camelus) heart.

Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Alexandria University, Post Box: 22758, Alexandria, Egypt. Electronic address:
The current work was focused on giving a full morphological description of the arterial supply of the heart of the ostrich (struthio camelus). The purpose of this work is achieved on eight ostrich hearts. The arterial blood supply of the ostrich heart occurred through the two coronary arteries that originated from the aorta at the left and right aortic sinus.

ALCAPA syndrome (anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery) is a rare disease but lethal with clinical expression from myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure to death during early infancy and unusual survival to adulthood. We report a 73-year-old woman with ALCAPA who presented with exertional dyspnea (NYHA functional class II) over past 2 years. Physical examination revealed soft S, long mid diastolic rumbling murmur and apical pan-systolic murmur.

Coronary collateral circulation frequently develops in the presence of obstructive coronary lesions as an alternative source of blood supply. We present a case of rare direct communication between the circumflex and right coronary arteries in a 30-year-old male with continuity between the distal segments of the circumflex and right coronary artery and no coronary artery stenoses. Direct intercoronary connections may be seen in the absence of an occlusive coronary lesion, as a remnant of the fetal circulation in adult life.

ALCAPA syndrome (anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery) is an exceedingly rare disease but lethal with clinical expression from myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure to death during early infancy and rare survival to adulthood. A 75-year-old woman with ALCAPA syndrome presented with angina (Canadian Cardiovascular Society functional class II) over past 8 months. Physical examination was within normal limits except pan-systolic murmur at the apex.

Objectives: The aim of this study was the analysis of the geometrical relationships between the different structures constituting the aortic root, with particular attention to interleaflet triangles, haemodynamic ventriculo-arterial junction and functional aortic annulus in normal subjects.
Methods: Sixteen formol-fixed human hearts with normal aortic roots were studied. The aortic root was isolated, sectioned at the midpoint of the non-coronary sinus, spread apart and photographed by a high-resolution digital camera.
