Cardiogenic shock in the context of newly diagnosed anomalous origin of the right coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery: a case report.

We postulate that the underlying aetiology of our patient's shock state was multifactorial, notably progressive RCA-territory ischaemia and RV failure, sepsis, and new-onset uncontrolled AF. In adults, unrecognized congenital heart disease can uncommonly cause cardiogenic shock. In our case, echocardiography and invasive angiography were integrated for the diagnosis of ARCAPA given the clinical circumstances that limited the use of cardiac computed tomography angiography.
