Blood pressure and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes and high cardiovascular risk.

abstract：:Coronary arteries of anomalous origin with subsequent coursing between the aorta and pulmonary trunk can cause ischaemia, infarction or sudden death. However, reports of surgical correction are sparse due to the rarity of ante-mortem diagnosis. We report two cases in which symptoms were related to anomalous origin of ...
