Coronary anomalies in athletes are rare findings. The incentive to look deeper into this subject is emphasized by the increased risk of sudden cardiac death, that is related to some of them. Diagnostic process is challeng- ing and treatment is complex. The aim of this article is to give its reader basic information about this often overlooked topic.
