  • Title: [Takayasu's arteritis. An unusual cause of AMI and sudden death in a young man].
    Author: Hjortshøj SP, Busk M, Gregersen M.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2002 Jun 17; 164(25):3366-7. PubMed ID: 12107955.
    Abstract:
    The sudden death of a 24-year-old Danish man is reported. Autopsy showed acute myocardial infarction (MI) as the immediate cause of death, together with vasculitis in the aorta and coronary vessels. MI and vascular lesions were attributable to Takayasu's arteritis, which is a well-known cause of cardiovascular disease in Asia. It is rarely seen in Scandinavia and this case represents the first reported MI caused by this disease in Denmark.
