  • Title: Rheumatic fever as a cause of myocardial infarction with coronary narrowing.
    Author: Onouchi Z, Tamiya H, Matsuoka H.
    Journal: Jpn Heart J; 1987 Jan; 28(1):127-33. PubMed ID: 3599398.
    Abstract:
    A 12-year-old boy with rheumatic fever associated with myocardial infarction is presented. As sequelae, left ventricular aneurysm and diffuse narrowing of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery were demonstrated by angiography. Given the high incidence of coronary arteritis in rheumatic fever, it is likely that arteritis contributed to the infarction.
