Abstract

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a relatively common entity causing inappropriate dilatation of the coronary vasculature. The exact mechanism of its development is unknown, but evidence suggests a combination of genetic predisposition, common risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) and abnormal vessel wall metabolism. It frequently co-exists with aneurysms elsewhere, mostly involving the aorta.
