Abstract Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has an increasing diagnostic relevance in survivors of sudden cardiac death (SCD) or unstable ventricular arrhythmia (UVA) in developed countries. Objective To evaluate retrospectively the additional role of CMR in a developing country where few resources are available, and should be used more effectively. Methods The study included SCD or UVA survivors admitted between 2009 and 2019 at a tertiary academic institution referred to CMR. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected from the […]

A 45-year-old male without past medical history presented with retrosternal chest pain and ST-segment elevation in inferolateral leads at ECG. Invasive coronary angiography, along with optical coherence tomography performed as part of the clinical study, showed normal coronaries, and myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) was diagnosed (-). Due to ongoing chest pain, triple-rule-out computed tomography angiography (CTA) was undertaken to exclude aortic dissection and pulmonary embolism. Incidentally, anomalous left circumflex artery (LCx) originating from the right sinus of […]
