Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an uncommon cause of sudden death in young adults in Europe. Angiographically, the disease is characterized by coronary artery aneurysms which can be fully obstructed by acute thrombosis or by progression of the disease. If diagnosis of KD is made, immediate investigation should be made to determine whether ischemia is occurring and if so, to establish optimal time for revascularisation or cardiac transplantation. We describe an 18-year-old Caucasian male who was not previously known to have KD and who suffered from an acute myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular fibrillation, caused by acute thrombosis of a coronary artery aneurysm. |
