Coronary Artery Ectasia (CAE): Want to hear from others

Very early into my potential diagnosis of CAE. Wondering if you have any updates since 2018. 43yo, male, very athletic and healthy, CAE in 3 coronary arteries and not sure my cardiologist has ever seen anyone like me. Did you get any answers?

Following as I have just been diagnosed as well with CAE. 55 yr old female, cancer surgery and 7weeks of radiation this past summer. Cardiologist basically told me nothing about this condition other than I’ll be on blood thinners and I have large coronary arteries. Would love to find others who have experienced this as well and hear about how to live a healthy life with this. I’m just left with a lot of questions at this point. As if cancer (still have tumor which is stable for now) wasn’t enough..now I have this to worry about.

no this is nothing out of the ordinary...your cardiologist if he is properly trained will know of such conditions...if clots reach a certain stage than they should be stented or you could also go for bypass surgery
