ANOMALOUS ORIGIN OF A CORONARY ARTERY FROM THE CONTRALATERAL
SINUS: INTERVENE OR DO NOTHING
James J Paul
Naval Regional Medical Center Portsmouth, USA
Young adults at high risk for Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), and is the second leading cause of SCD in the young
behind only hereditary disorders (ion channelopathies). Presently, there is no method for risk stratification,
since no one knows the true incidence of AAOCA or the etiology that precipitates SCD. The present day literature
provides no guidance as to what to do with these patients given there is no consensus among institutions as to
what management is most appropriate for AAOCA in an otherwise normal pediatric patient. The purpose of this
presentation is to provide more clarity as to the diagnosis and treatment of AAOCA in young adults.
