Sudden cardiac death due to atypical isolated coronary arteritis?
A case of probable isolated primary arteritis of the coronary arteries (coronaritis) in a 68-year-old man who died suddenly and unexpectedly is presented. The histologic presentation of the disorder is discussed, especially the differential diagnosis of arteritis of the coronary arteries versus distinct coronary artery sclerosis with concomitant inflammatory change.
