A 49-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of chest pain. The pain occurred simultaneously with tachycardia-dependent left bundle branch block (LBBB) during exercise-stress and atropine-stress electrocardiogram (ECG) and on 24-h ambulatory ECG monitoring. Myocardial perfusion and metabolic scintigraphy with Tl-201 and I-123 BMIPP, respectively, showed no evidence of ischemia. Coronary arteriography revealed no atherosclerotic lesions, but did show a fistula between three major coronary arteries and the main pulmonary artery. The left-to-right shunt was undetectably small. Administration of diltiazem and metoprolol suppressed LBBB by attenuating the heart rate response to exercise, and reduced the chest pain. Therefore we presume that the exertional chest pain was not caused by myocardial ischemia but by the tachycardia-dependent LBBB. Coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula is the most common type of coronary artery fistulae found incidentally in adulthood. Involvement of three major coronary branches is, however, rare. The case is discussed with a review of the literature.
