Left main coronary artery atresia is an extremely rare disease in which there is a congenital defect of the left main trunk of the coronary artery and should be differentiated when encountering cases of heart failure or exercise-induced angina/arrhythmia attacks in young persons who are not at risk for atherosclerosis. Exercise electrocardiogram may show a false negative result, and therefore coronary CT is useful for diagnosis.
