Early diagnosis and treatment of anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery in an asymptomatic 1‐month‐old infant

Ao, aortic trunk; CT, computed tomography; DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy; EKG, electrocardiography; LCA, left coronary artery; MPA, main pulmonary artery; RCA, right coronary artery ALCAPA is a rare but well-known cause of pediatric myocardial ischemia. [...]pediatric cardiologists should always be familiar with the typical echocardiographic markers of ALCAPA, because of the potential catastrophic consequences if missing the diagnosis of this surgically curative disease. [...]like in our case, some children of ALCAPA are diagnosed by chance at a very early stage, before the onset of ventricular dysfunction, and thus can benefit from surgery before the occurrence of myocardial infarction.
