RESUMO
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a condition primarily seen in young women and is characterized by non-atherosclerotic arterial damage. It can occur with or without conventional risk factors for coronary heart disease and is often associated with chronic inflammatory conditions. Here, we present a unique instance of a 67-year-old woman without known risk factors who developed sudden onset chest pain in the setting of an asymptomatic coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection three weeks earlier. Subsequent evaluation revealed SCAD in the distal left anterior descending (LAD) artery.
