  • Title: Hemopericardium and cardiac tamponade as presenting findings of anomalous left coronary artery syndrome complicated by transmural myocardial infarction.
    Author: Kaminer S, Truemper E.
    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 1996; 17(3):198-200. PubMed ID: 8662038.
    Abstract:
    Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery most commonly presents in infancy with clinical features of dilated cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure or cardiogenic shock as a result of myocardial ischemia. We report the first presentation of this disorder with hemorrhagic pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade as a result of a transmural myocardial infarction. The list of other causes of hemorrhagic pericardial effusion must now include anomalous left coronary artery syndrome.
