Anomalous Left Coronary Artery
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
An anomalous left coronary artery is a malformation present from birth, in which this artery, responsible for supplying the heart, has an origin or course different from usual. This can change the way the heart muscle receives blood.
Signs to watch for: In some cases it produces no symptoms; in others there may be shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue with exertion, or fainting.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, and in children the pediatric cardiologist, evaluate the heart; the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon may step in depending on the case, with the support of the pediatrician.
When to seek care? If cardiac symptoms occur with exertion or there is unexplained fainting, it is important to seek timely professional evaluation.
