  • Title: Unusual coronary artery ectasia and stenosis in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and acute myocardial infarction.
    Author: Chu PH, Ko YS, Hsu TS, Luo SF, Chiang CW.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1998 Apr; 25(4):807-9. PubMed ID: 9558191.
    Abstract:
    Acute myocardial infarction is an important and sometimes fatal complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We describe a case of acute myocardial infarction in a 23-year-old woman with SLE. Angiography revealed coronary ectasia in the left main and proximal circumflex coronary arteries, as well as a stenotic lesion in the left anterior descending artery. The possible pathophysiology is discussed.
