Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I recently went for a coronary CT angiogram. I received the following report. While my GP explained my arteries were clear, he did not explain the anomaly apparently, which is in the middle line of the page I have attached. Should I be concerned about this? What does it mean exactly? Thank you.

Hi.

Welcome to icliniq.com.

We are here to help you. I have studied your report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). One of your arteries is not following the normal anatomical course as in other people. However, this is a normal variant as is not going to harm you. There is no blockage. You can understand it with an example that all of your members come to home through one way and one of your notorious son takes another route that is a little curving, but a normal route.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Does this variant increase my chance of angina or heart attack down the line?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No, it will not increase the chance of heart attack. However, I would like to know your symptoms for which this angiogram was performed.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
