Abstract
The data on a twenty-three year old woman who had an atrial septal defect and a myocardial
infarction are presented. Factors predisposing to early coronary artery disease were
not evident. Catheterization revealed a large atrial septal defect with a pulmonic
flow two and a half times the systemic flow. Cineangiography revealed an occlusion
of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery, the remaining left
and the right coronary arteries being normal.
