A Case of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection.
Curēus 2024 January
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is the development of an intramural hematoma that causes a false lumen to form, leading to occlusion and ischemia. It is a rare but separate pathologic cause of acute coronary syndrome, more commonly occurring in females and often associated with underlying vascular conditions. Definitive diagnosis requires invasive coronary angiography. Management is similar to that of myocardial infarction caused by atherosclerosis; however, the majority of SCADs are managed conservatively, as stenting often leads to worse outcomes. Diagnostic and management strategies are primarily based on consensus, with minimal randomized control trials or prospective analyses available to guide patient care.
