Abstract
- Coronary fibromuscular dysplasia (CFMD) is rare but severe due to its close relationship with spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
- CFMD is characterized by thickening of the intima of fibrous tissue proliferation
- This is different from renal fibromuscular dysplasia that is characterized by thickening of the media mostly.
- This study is the first to compare the clinical and pathological differences between CFMD and coronary atherosclerosis.
- Pathological investigation contributes to gain deeper knowledge about CFMD.
