title: Patterns of Coronary Artery Anomalous Origin Reviewed by Coronary Angiogram in a Cardiac Center of Bangladesh.
abstract: Coronary Angiogarm (CAG) has been used to detect coronary artery anomalies. This cross sectional observational study aimed to assess the prevalence of anomalous origin of the coronary artery in the Bangladeshi patients. The researchers summarized responses of the target patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) from August 2010 to March 2011 in United Hospital Ltd., Gulshan, Dhaka, Bangladesh and data of anomalous origin of the coronary artery in Bangladeshi patients were recorded. Eighteen hundred (1800) patients underwent CAG during that period; 66 patients with an anomalous origin of the coronary artery were detected, giving a prevalence of 3.6%. The prevalence of anomalous origin of the coronary artery in Bangladeshi people in this study is 3.6%. CAG can visualize the anomalous origin of the coronary artery and is a useful screening modality.
