Abstract
- Eosinophilic coronary periarteritis (ECPA) is a new type of coronary arteritis. In most cases, it has showed sudden cardiac death due to vasospastic angina or spontaneous coronary artery dissection. Many studies about ECPA have been conducted, but the cause of ECPA has yet to be clarified. ECPA was diagnosed at autopsy and the patients were mainly 30- to 50-year-old man. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman who died from ECPA without spontaneous coronary artery dissection. The autopsy showed a sudden cardiac death and results of microscopic examiniation related to ECPA.
