Abstract
Coronary artery anomalies are not a frequent finding, and a single rig ht coronary artery is extremely rare. This anomaly has been included a mong the potentially serious ones because its association with infarct ion and sudden death has been reported. We present the case of a femal e patient who complained of chest pain, showed a positive exercise tre admill test and had a single right coronary artery in the angiography with no stenotic lesions. The pathophysiology and the clinical implica tions are discussed.
