Fatal coronary ectasia: An autopsy case report and review of literature
2021, Journal of Forensic and Legal MedicineCitation Excerpt :The etiopathogenesis of CAE is still a matter of debate. However, atherosclerosis is reported as the most common cause in the adult population5,17 while inflammatory or congenital origin are more reported among children, especially in the case of Kawasaki's disease.18 Smoking, hypertension, and a hereditary etiology, especially in cases of familial dyslipidemia, are among the other formulated hypotheses.19
Non-arrhythmic causes of sudden death: A comprehensive review
2019, Progress in Cardiovascular DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Serious coronary and myocardial complications are fortunately relatively rare (3%), and mostly seen in older children.67 If not promptly treated with intravenous immunoglobulins and aspirin, about a quarter of those with Kawasaki syndrome develop coronary artery aneurysms, which can lead to SCD from occlusion and rupture.68–71 SCAD is a condition defined angiographically by dissection of the coronary intima or media, with or without adventitial hematoma formation.72
