Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of heart attack, primarily affecting young women, particularly postpartum. Early diagnosis via coronary angiography is crucial for management due to poor prognosis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Vascular Biology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon cause of acute myocardial infarction.
  • It disproportionately affects young, healthy women, often during the peripartum period.

Observation:

  • Dissections typically involve the proximal left coronary artery.
  • Histological findings include intramural hematoma compressing the true lumen and periadventitial inflammation.

Findings:

  • The exact etiology remains unknown, with hormonal influences and collagen defects proposed.
  • Prognosis is guarded, with high early mortality rates.
  • Early diagnosis through coronary angiography is vital for timely intervention.

Implications:

  • Surgical intervention may limit infarct extension.
  • Understanding SCAD etiology is critical for developing targeted therapies.
  • Increased awareness is needed for prompt diagnosis and improved patient outcomes.
