Abstract
Early diagnosis of AOLCA/AORCA in athletes is feasible by TTE. Typical symptoms/signs of myocardial ischemia are present only in one third of cases thus underlying the need of a high index of clinical suspicion to achieve the diagnosis. After exercise restriction, none had major cardiac events or ischemia symptoms/signs recurrence. There was no correlation between anatomical characteristics and clinical presentation with the possible exception of coronary hypoplasia.
