摘要
Sudden cardiac death in 5-10% of cases is explained by patients with congenital abnormalities that include coronary artery malformations such as anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA). We report a case of sudden cardiac death as the first presentation of ALCAPA in a young female with no history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
