ANOMALOUS ORIGINS OF CORONARY ARTERIES- A LITERATURE REVIEW

Dr. Manisha Roy

Abstract :

 

Coronary artery is defined as any artery or arterial anch that carries blood                     

    to cardiac parenchyma. Heart is responsible for circulation of blood throughout the body and it itself receives arterial blood through coronary circulation.

Because of the critical role of the coronary arteries of supplying blood to the musculature of the heart, thereby providing nutrients and oxygen to the tissue as well as carrying metabolic and catabolic wastes. a fully functioning heart and circulation is highly warranted.

Coronary artery disease is one of the major causes of death in developing countries. The increasing use of diagnostic and therapeutic interventional procedures necessitates the availability of a basic and sound knowledge of the coronary artery pattern. Coronary artery anomalies are gaining consideration as one of the cause of coronary heart disease in the diagnostic workup. One of the subsets of coronary artery anomalies is the anomalous origin. This subgroup can produce critical manifestations including sudden death especially in young athletes. Inspite of this criticality, this subgroup has been rarely studied in the literature. Present review is dedicated to this topic.
