An Uncommon Association of Sever Early Coronary Artery Disease and
Aortic Coarctation in Patient with Familial Hypercholesterolemia: A Case
Report
Abstract
Familial hypercholesterolemia is a rare inherited disease that results
in elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and clinically leads
to early coronary artery disease. It is rare for this disease to be
associated with the coarctation of the aorta. In this report, we review
the clinical case of an 18-year-old who was referred to our center with
angina pectoris manifestation. A comprehensive clinical and
investigative evaluation of the patient pre-operatively showed the
presence of familial hypercholesterolemia, Coarctation of the aorta, and
ischemic cardiomyopathy that required coronary artery bypass surgery.
