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?
Please help.
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.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.

Hello 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 a heart attack. However, I would like to know the symptoms for which this angiogram was performed.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
