Q: echo noted suspected anomalous origin of right coronary artery. no comparison done with 3 other echos that never noted this. go through with ct angiogram or 2nd opinion?

: Echos can display false positive findings or be misinterpreted on occasion. Not clear to me why you have had 3 prior studies. Would agree that a second opinion might allow a different perspective and approach.

I would do the CT angiogram. That way they will be able to tell.
