ABSTRACT
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of myocardial infarction that typically affects women without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. It is the most common cause of myocardial infarction in pregnant and postpartum women.

We present a case of SCAD in a multiparous woman who presented with acute chest pain in the postpartum period.
