Background: The prevalence of coronary artery anomalies (CAA) are reported between 0.6-1.3% in the literature. CAA are usually asymptomatic incidental findings, but they may deteriorate coronary circulation, cause symptoms and lead to sudden cardiac death; especially in young athletes. Since interventional procedures are increasing rapidly for treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) in the modern era, comprehensive understanding of CAA is becoming progressively critical element in dealing with CAD. Materials and methods: We reviewed the database of the Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory of Sani Konukoglu University Hospital in Gaziantep, Turkey. All patients who were subjected to coronary angiography from 1998 to 2006 were included. Results: Among 53,655 coronary angiographies performed, CAA were found in 653 patients (incidence of 1.21%); 590 (90.3%) patients had anomalies of origin and distribution and 63 (11.7%) had coronary fistulae. Separate origins of left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCX) coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva was the most common anomaly (64.1%). Coronary arteries branching from anomalous aortic origin was the second most common anomaly (16.5%). Right coronary artery (RCA) originating from left sinus of Valsalva or left main coronary artery (LMCA) was observed in 55 (8.4%) patients, LCX arising from RCA or right sinus of Valsalva (RSV) was seen in 52 (7.9%) patients and LMCA or LAD originating from RSV was seen in 14 (0.2%) patients. There were 16 (2.45%) patients with single coronary artery and 1 (0.15%) patient with LMCA originating from pulmonary artery. Conclusions: The incidence and the pattern of CAA in our patient population were similar with previous studies. Angiographic recognition of these vessels is important because of their clinical significance and importance in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty or cardiac surgery.

Hyperhomocysteinemia Predicts the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease as Determined by the SYNTAX Score in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Karadeniz, Muhammed; Sarak, Toner; Duran, Mustafa; Alp, Caglar; Kandemir, Huseyin; Celik, Ibrahim Etem; kilic, Alparslan (Taiwan Soc Cardiology, 2018)Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia is a known risk factor for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and is related with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Previous studies have used less quantifiable scoring systems for ... -
