From the Department of Radiology, Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Bangalore 560099, India (S.G., V.R.); and Department of Radiology, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Kochi, India (R.R.).
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac MRI is the best method for detecting and assessing heart muscle conditions, with late gadolinium enhancement helping in patient classification and management.
- Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart defect that can show myocardial enhancement on MRI.
- This report discusses unusual mid myocardial late gadolinium enhancement found in three adult patients with ALCAPA, differing from typical enhancement patterns.
