Fibromuscular dysplasia involving coronary arteries--a case report

Angiology. 1999 Feb;50(2):153-6. doi: 10.1177/000331979905000210.

Abstract

The authors report a young patient with fibromuscular dysplasia involving multivessels including coronary arteries. If young patients have chest pain on effort, fibromuscular dysplasia of coronary arteries must be considered. As fibromuscular dysplasia is a chronic progressive disease and some cases progress rapidly in a few months, careful follow-up and comprehensive medical management may be necessary in such patients.
