ABSTRACT
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has been increasingly recognized in recent years as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, and sudden death, especially among young women. However, due to the lack of clinical trials on SCAD, evidence-based guidance on management is currently lacking. Presented are four case studies that illustrate the recent insights and challenges in SCAD diagnosis and treatment.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a condition where the layers of a coronary artery tear without any apparent cause. In recent years, it has become more recognized as an important cause of chest pain, heart attacks, and sudden death, especially in younger women. However, because of the lack of clinical trials focused on SCAD, there is insufficient evidence-based guidance on managing the condition. This article shares four cases to show the current knowledge and challenges in diagnosing and treating SCAD.
