Spontaneous coronary artery dissection in polycystic kidney disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Little is known about the association between autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and coronary artery dissection (CAD). We suggest that the genetic disorder in ADPKD is the main cause of instable artery vasculature. Our case also shows that CAD can be missed in the acute phase. Therefore, we recommend additional investigation in patients with ADPKD presenting with acute chest pain. We report a case of a patient who developed a myocardial infarction due to a spontaneous dissection of the left anterior descending coronary artery. ADPKD was diagnosed during the additional investigation. The patient received medical management.

Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetic disorder due to inheritance of genetic mutations which lead to production of abnormal type IV collagen. AS has been associated with renal, auditory, and ocular diseases due to the presence of abnormal alpha chains of type IV collagen in the glomerulus, cochlea, cornea, lens, and retina. The resulting disorder includes hereditary nephritis, corneal opacities, an...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection not associated with underlying coronary artery disease is rare. When the dissection does occur, it most often is manifested as an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction in young women. Although the condition can occur in men, most often it involves women who are in their third trimester of pregnancy or the early postpartum period or are engaging in vigor...
