We report a case of abnormal origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery trunk. The original features of this case were its discovery in a young pregnant woman, the normality of basal left ventricular function and the electrocardiogram, the diagnosis by transoesophaegeal echocardiography, and the demonstration of severe myocardial ischaemia by stress echocardiography.

D017202 Myocardial Ischemia A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
