Spontaneous coronary dissection in polycystic kidney disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of a 46-year-old woman with hypertension and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who presented with chest pain and was found to have spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) on diagnostic catheterization. We review the pathogenesis, management and prognosis of SCAD. We conclude that in patients with polycystic kidney disease who present with angina pectoris and positive cardiac biomarkers, coronary artery dissection should be considered.

متن کاملSpontaneous coronary artery dissection in polycystic kidney disease

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 p...

Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) have an increased risk of intracranial aneurysms. Reports on arterial aneurysms in other locations have not been conclusive.

متن کاملSpontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: A Rare Manifestation of Alport Syndrome
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...
