Coronary artery fistula

How is coronary artery fistula diagnosed?

This condition is usually not diagnosed until later in life. It is usually diagnosed during tests for other heart diseases. However, a doctor may hear a heart murmur that will lead to the diagnosis after further testing.

Tests to determine the size of the fistula include:

• angiogram
• cardiac catheterization
• echocardiogram
• MRI
