    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2006 May 10; 109(2):195-200. PubMed ID: 16002162.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To detect origin and course and to evaluate viability in patients with anomalous RCA. DESIGN: 3D coronary MR angiography and viability study using gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-MRI) was performed. SETTING: A tertiary hospital center. PATIENTS: Four patients, selected from the catheter lab, were studied. RESULTS: Anomalous RCA from the left sinus of Valsalva was identified in all patients. Inferior myocardial infarction was documented in three patients. CONCLUSIONS: Magnetic resonance imaging can non-invasively identify anomalous RCA and perform viability study in the same examination.
