New Onset Atrial Fibrillation and Angina Pectoris As Late Manifestation of Anomalous Origin of Left Coronary Artery from Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA)

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart disease due to the abnormal origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. When this condition is not diagnosed nor surgically corrected on time, most patients do not survive childhood. We report a 58-year-old woman who presented with angina and new-onset atrial fibrillation as a delayed manifestation of ALCAPA syndrome. Following surgical intervention, the patient has experienced a satisfactory long-term survival.
