Sudden Cardiac Arrest as the First Manifestation of Takayasu Arteritis
Review Data
Q: Is the topic relevant to the journal area of interest? Is it contemporary and interesting for
researchers?
A: Very good
Abstract & Keywords
Q: Are all required components included in the abstract? Are the keywords appropriately chosen?
A: Very good
Goal
Q: Is the goal explicitly stated in the Introduction? Is its formulation clear and unambiguous?
A: Not Applicable.
Structure
Q: Is the paper's structure coherent? Is it in coherence with the goal of the paper?
A: Good
Comments: The last two paragraphs of the Case Report should be included under the section of Discussion.
Tools and Methods
Q: Are methods the author uses adequate and well used?
A: Very good
Discussion & Conclusion
Q: Is it related to the results presented before? Do you consider them as coherent?
A: Good
Comments: The case description is adequate. The Discussion section provides a brief idea about the occurrence of Takayasu arteritis with the help of relevant literature as well as demonstrates the usefulness of diagnostic imaging showing vascular involvement because vasculitis is a potential etiology of coronary artery disease, responsible for causing Takayasu arteritis in young women. The analysis concludes that a multidisciplinary approach is required to manage these patients.

Further comments on the paper
Comments: This is the first case report describing a case of a 41-year-old Asian woman presented with sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Coronary angiogram revealed a chronic total occlusion of the ostial left main trunk with complete collateralization by the right coronary artery due to a chronic inflammatory disease, Takayasu arteritis. The patient was successfully treated with corticosteroids and tapering corticosteroids associated with anti-interleukin 6 therapy and became asymptomatic. This case is of significance due to the abrupt clinical manifestation in the form of cardiac arrest and the involvement of coronary artery disease which helped diagnosing vasculitis as a potential etiology of coronary disease in young women.
Q: Would you recommend this manuscript for further publication?
A: Yes - Suitable to be published
If you have any questions and clarifications you can write to the journal.
