High takeoff of the right coronary artery by echocardiography: normal variant or something more?
Accurate identification of the coronary origin and course of the anomalous coronary artery is difficult by echocardiogram. Correct diagnosis of origin and course is important for appropriate risk stratification and treatment decisions. Therefore, patients with high takeoff of the right coronary artery suspected by echocardiography should undergo additional evaluation to assess for the presence of a potentially malignant course.
