Abstract

In this review we describe an unusual case report of familial fibromuscular dysplasia with involvement of coronary arteries which manifested as two distinct types of acute coronary syndrome. This case report allows us the opportunity to discuss the distinct forms of presentation of this rare disease, i.e., when there is an involvement of the coronary arteries, and highlighting pathophysiological, diagnostic and therapeutic issues. It underlines the potential role of genetic predisposition to this condition and discusses the role of vascular screening of the patients with suspected non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
Keywords: coronary fibromuscular dysplasia; acute coronary syndrome; spontaneous coronary artery dissection coronary fibromuscular dysplasia; acute coronary syndrome; spontaneous coronary artery dissection
