Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and anomalous left coronary artery

Does coronary CT angiography improve risk stratification over coronary calcium scoring in symptomatic patients with suspected coronary artery disease? Results from the prospective multicenter international CONFIRM registry

“…Prior literature suggests that high pre-test likelihood or high Framingham risk score are associated with increased odds for the presence of non-calcified obstructive plaque. 26 While CCTA is an excellent non-invasive tool for the identification of anatomical CAD severity, it does not discriminate whether a stenosis causes ischaemia or not. Recently, new CT-based tools are under investigation to determine whether CCTA measures of functional flow reserve or CT perfusion may be able to differentiate between lesions that are associated with ischaemia or not.…”

Rare Case of Coronary Anomaly, Overview of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with A Different Presentation

“…According to the literature, its association with coronary anomalies is rare. (2,3,9,10,11) Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can cause sudden cardiac death, this risk increases when it is related to coronary anomaly. (11) For this reason, patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with coronary anomaly should be observed closely.…”
