Coronary anomalies are a poorly understood topic in modern cardiology. The incidence of coronary anomalies in patients undergoing coronary angiography varies from 0,3 % to 5,6 %. We describe the case of a young patient with acute myocardial infarcion and with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus. We discuss the clinical importance of this anomaly and review the literature.

Keywords: coronary anomalies, acute myocardial infarction
