title: Assessment of a left circumflex coronary artery-left ventricle fistula by multimodality imaging in a child.
abstract: Multimodality imaging revealed a left circumflex coronary artery-left ventricle fistula in a 4-year-old boy. MRI tissue tracking revealed a slight abnormality in the left ventricular myocardial strain. Early surgery was suggested to avoid serious complications.
