Coronary Artery Ecstasia is the abnormal dilation of arteries surrounding the heart. Instead of having narrowing arteries, the arteries are enlarged and then go back to normal size. The problem is the blood builds up in the dilated part of the artery and has to make its way down through the normal part of the artery This is a danger that can cause the blood to clot before it is able to move through the narrow part of the artery causing an aneurysm.
