Despite the low prevalence in the overall population, congenital coronary artery (CA) anomalies are frequently found as the cause of sudden death (SD) in the young, particularly in the athletic field.1-11 These anomalies are observed both in paediatric and adult patients, with an equal incidence of SD. Why a patient may survive asymptomatic until adulthood and then suffer from angina, myocardial… View more
