Abstract
We report a case of a 43 year-old previously fit and healthy woman presenting with cardiac arrest secondary to an anomalous origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA) Syndrome, a very rare congenital anomaly that it is extremely unusual to survive to adulthood if left uncorrected. To our knowledge, this is the first case of its type to be diagnosed and reported in an Australian hospital. Suspicion of this anomaly on conventional coronary angiography is essential given the life threatening nature of this condition.
