RESUMEN: El dolor torácico no relacionado con trauma es una causa importante de consulta en los servicios de urgencias, con frecuencia alrededor del 10 %, y es secundario al síndrome coronario agudo. La mayoría de las veces está relacionado con la formación de un trombo por ulceración o ruptura de una placa aterosclerótica. En algunos casos es secundario a causas raras como las anomalías del origen de las arterias coronarias. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con origen anómalo del tronco de la arteria coronaria izquierda, que ingresó con cuadro clínico sugestivo de síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST. Se discuten sus principales aspectos, el significado clínico y las opciones terapéuticas.
ABSTRACT: Chest pain not related with injury is an important cause of visit to emergency departments; it accounts for 10 % of such visits and is caused by acute coronary syndrome. In most cases it is related to thrombus formation secondary to ulceration or rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. Sometimes it is secondary to rare causes such as the presence of congenital coronary artery anomalies. We report the case of a patient with anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery, who was admitted to the hospital with a clinical picture suggestive of acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation. Its main aspects, clinical significance and therapeutic options are discussed.
