Abstract
Anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare condition and the second cause of sudden cardiac death among young athletic patients. Suspicion should arise in the presence of exertional syncope without prodrome, chest pain and/or dyspnea. An accurate transthoracic echocardiogram with Doppler colour flow mapping is the best and first method to identify AAOCA, followed by cardiac CT or MRI to define the coronary anatomy that could benefit from corrective cardiac surgery.
