[Congenital coronary artery malformations and associated clinical syndromes (author's transl)]. 1979

G P Trevi, and P Benussi, and I Sheiban, and F Frasson

In 34 cases, corresponding to 3,7% of all patients underwent coronary arteriography for evaluation of anginal syndrome in our laboratory, it was observed a congenital coronary anomaly on their angiograms. The purpose of this paper is to verify the frequency of coronary anomalies and to evaluate relations existing between these anomalies and anginal syndrome. Coronary arteriograms, in 22 cases (2,44%), revealed exclusively; the presence of a coronary anomaly without occlusive coronary disease, which might per se justify angina. They were distributed as follows : 5 with coronary fistula, 2 with coronary aneurysms, 2 cases with single ostium and finally, 13 subjects with hypoplasia of one of the three major coronary arteries. One infant, 14 months old, had a hyperplasic left discending artery (LDA) draining in right ventricle cavity. Her ECG revealed signs of right ventricle overload. All the other cases had a typical angina syndrome with positive stress test. Left cineventriculography demonstrated left ventricle asynergy in 16 patients. We concluded that typical angina syndrome in our 22 patients, may be attributable to coronary anomalies observed at their coronary arteriograms.

D003326 Coronary Circulation The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART. Circulation, Coronary
D003330 Coronary Vessel Anomalies Malformations of CORONARY VESSELS, either arteries or veins. Included are anomalous origins of coronary arteries; ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA; CORONARY ANEURYSM; MYOCARDIAL BRIDGING; and others. Anomaly, Coronary Vessel,Coronary Vessel Anomaly
D005260 Female Females
D005402 Fistula Abnormal communication most commonly seen between two internal organs, or between an internal organ and the surface of the body. Fistulas
D006322 Heart Aneurysm A localized bulging or dilatation in the muscle wall of a heart (MYOCARDIUM), usually in the LEFT VENTRICLE. Blood-filled aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst. Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. True aneurysm is bound by the vessel wall or cardiac wall. False aneurysms are HEMATOMA caused by myocardial rupture. Cardiac Aneurysm,Aneurysm, Cardiac,Aneurysm, Heart,Aneurysms, Cardiac,Aneurysms, Heart,Cardiac Aneurysms,Heart Aneurysms
D006331 Heart Diseases Pathological conditions involving the HEART including its structural and functional abnormalities. Cardiac Disorders,Heart Disorders,Cardiac Diseases,Cardiac Disease,Cardiac Disorder,Heart Disease,Heart Disorder
