Popis: Case report: We present a case of a 19-year old female with a medical history of intermittent chest pain and presyncope who was hospitalized at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb due to an out of hospital cardiac arrest followed by successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. At the admission, she was sedated, intubated, mechanically ventilated and hemodynamically stable. After the conduction of an induced hypothermia protocol, the patient was extubated and awakened without signs of neurological deficit. While both echocardiography exam and the magnetic resonance scan confirmed a structurally normal heart, CCTA showed an anomalous origin of the LMCA from the right coronary sinus with an inter- arterial narrow course between the wall of the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery
