Journal Article
Sudden cardiac arrest in a healthy young athlete
2015
Overview
There was no family history of sudden cardiac death or known congenital cardiac conditions. Anomalous origin of the LMCA is a rare entity with a prevalence of 0.2% on autopsy.2 It is a well-recognised cause of sudden cardiac death as described by Cheitlin et al in their review. Once diagnosis is confirmed, treatment is surgical correction with multiple techniques that involve forming a larger ‘neo’ ostium to allow for greater blood flow into the left arterial system.3 Learning points Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is a rare but important cause of sudden cardiac death, and should be considered in young patients with unexplained cardiac arrest.
