Hi all,

Well, I do know my Mom died of a myocardial Infarction (MI). Back then that

is all we knew.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is an inherited connective tissue disorder. Clinical

manifestations of this syndrome are due to fragile connective tissue. Though

many cardiovascular disorders in association with it have been reported,

myocardial infarction is quite rare. In this report, two cases with type 4

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and myocardial infarction are described. Patient 1 was a

30-year-old woman. She was diagnosed as having myocardial infarction on the

basis of

typical changes in electrocardiograms and serum enzymes (CPK, SGOT and LDH).

The diagnosis of type 4 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was made by the microscopic

examination of her connective tissue. Patient 2 was a 32-year-old man. He was

also

diagnosed as having acute myocardial infarction. His fibroblasts were cultured

and they could not synthesize type 3 collagen. Type 4 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

was diagnosed. It was likely that myocardial infarction might have resulted

from the fragility of their coronary arteries in type 4 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Hi all --

This is exactly what happened to me two years ago -- two of my coronary

arteries dissected and I had an MI.
