Abstract:
Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery from the opposite sinus (AAOCA)is one of the con-genital coronary artery malformations that might cause syncope,myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death (SCD), particularly in adolescents and young people.The most important inducing factor of myocardial ischemia and syncope is strenuous exercise.In recent years,more and more young athletes SCD events have been reported,and SCD related to AAOCA is now becoming the hot issue of common concern. Now,the concept,classification,clinical manifestations, diagnosis,and treatment strategies of AAOCA were introduced.
