Abstract

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is not a common anomaly in adulthood. Its early diagnosis requires physician suspicion and the early treatment of disease can prevent its serious side effects. In this article, we presented a young female with pansystolic murmur and heart failure with final diagnosis of ALCAPA syndrome.
