White and Jones (1928) found only one patient who had suffered a coronary thrombosis in 956 cases of rheumatic endocarditis. Among 99 patients dying with pure aortic stenosis Contratto and Levine (1937) reported four instances of coronary occlusion, and in 314 consecutive cases of simple mitral stenosis (Levine and Kauvar, 1941) coronary occlusion was diagnosed in only 10 instances (confirmed at autopsy in five). Rheumatic heart disease is found in less percentage still...Bibliography BREITENECKER L: Ueber einen Fall von Aortitis rheumatica (Plötzlicher Tod eines 22 Jährigen Mädchenes unter medikamentösem Vergiftungsvergacht), Deutsch.
