    1. Patient presentation

    • A 23-year-old man had cardiac arrest during physical exercise. He was resuscitated by emergency
      defibrillation.

    • The patient had no prior medical history.
    • Contrast-enhanced cardiac CT was performed to look for a coronary anomaly. Additional images on
      both ventricles were obtained.
