title: Anomalous aortic origin of the left anterior descending coronary artery with dilated cardiomyopathy.
abstract: Serious complications such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction in patients with anomalous origin of a coronary artery have been documented. However, this anomaly with dilated cardiomyopathy is very rare. We present the first case of anomalous origin of the left anterior descending coronary artery with dilated cardiomyopathy.
