Abstract

A 14-year-old with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) developed chest pain with ST-segment elevation, elevated serum troponin, and progressive ventricular dysfunction. Multimodality imaging showed an anomalous right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva with intramural course, but further diagnostic testing led to the diagnosis of acute presentation of DMD-associated cardiomyopathy. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
