Abstract
Cross-Sex Hormone Therapy (CSHT)is an increasing trend among transgender individuals that positively aids both physically and psychologically during gender affirmation. However, there is a lack of data of prolonged CSHT on cardiac health. We report a CSHT-treated transgender woman who presented with significant diffuse coronary artery aneurysmal disease (or coronary artery ectasia).
