“…Other conditions in which coronary artery ectasia or aneurysm has been noted include Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (Imahori et al, 1969), scleroderma (Chaithiraphan et al, 1973), cystic medionecrosis (Boschetti and Levine, 1958;McKeown, 1960), trauma (Konecke et al, 1971), mycotic embolus (Crooket al, 1973), and syphilitic aortitis (Morgagni, 1940). All these causes, however, are rare compared with arteriosclerosis in the series of Daoud et al (1963) and Markis et al (1976).…”

“…Fibroblast cultures from a control (C) and the patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (ED) were labelled with tritiated L-proline for 18 h. Cell layer (CELL) and secreted collagens (MED) were digested with pepsin and analysed after delayed reduction7 on sodium dodecylsulphatel polyacrylamide gels (5 per cent) (see materials and methods section for details). The migration positions of type I collagen al (I) and a2(I) and type III collagen al (III) chains are shown.…”

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome encompasses a group of inherited disorders of connective tissue, some of which are characterised by abnormalities of collagen metabolism. The chromosomal location, identified genes and biochemical defects, inheritance pattern, and clinical features for the various known subtypes are outlined. Prenatal diagnosis is possible for types IV, VI, VIIA1, and VIIA2. An unusual presentation of type IV Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in a 16 year old boy with an anterior myocardial infarction resulting from dissection of the left anterior descending coronary artery is reported here. A clinical diagnosis of type IV Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was made subsequently and confirmed by the reduced production, impaired secretion, and abnormally slow electrophoretic migration of type III collagen, indicating an underlying mutation in the COL3A1 gene. This patient represents the first case of type IV Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with symptomatic coronary artery dissection.

“…It has usually been performed because of a history of myocardial infarction (Ebert et al, 1971;Konecke et al, 1971;Ghahramani et al, 1972;Crook et al, 1973;Toussaint et al, 1976), on account of angina pectoris (Markis et al, 1976), unexplained dysrhythmias, or because of calcification observed on plain chest radiographs or during aortography (present report).…”

“…Congenital aneurysms (Seabra-Gomes et al, 1974), when present, are usually located on the right coronary artery (Frithz et al, 1968) and most have been associated with arteriovenous fistulae (Munkner et al, 1958;Seabra-Gomes et al, 1974). Traumatic (Konecke et al, 1971) and mycotic (Crook et al, 1973;Toussaint et al, 1976) aneurysms are much more unusual.…”
