Cardiac imaging allows physicians to view the structure and function of the heart to detect various heart abnormalities, ranging from inefficiencies in contraction, regulation of volumetric input and output of blood, deficits in valve function and structure, accumulation of plaque in arteries, and more. Commonly used cardiovascular imaging techniques include x-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), echocardiogram, and positron emission tomography (PET)/single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). More recently, even more tools are at our disposal for investigating the heart’s physiology, performance, structure, and function due to technological advancements. This review study summarizes cardiac imaging techniques with a particular interest in MRI and CT, noting each tool’s origin, benefits, downfalls, clinical application, and advancement of cardiac imaging in the near future.

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery with concomitant myxomatous mitral valve disease: a rare coexistence

SUMMARYA 45-year-old man previously diagnosed with myxomatous mitral valve disease was admitted to our hospital with chest pain at rest and on effort. Contrastenhanced CT revealed that the patient's right coronary artery originated from the left sinus Valsalva, which was compressed between the aortic and pulmonary roots. This anatomical abnormality can be associated with sudden death, syncope and chest pain. Ultrasonography showed mitral valve prolapse with severe regurgitation. Surgical repair was performed, which included coronary artery bypass graft and mitral valvoplasty with tricuspid annuloplasty. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient remains asymptomatic. This is the first description of the coexistence of an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery with myxomatous mitral valve disease. BACKGROUND
