Abstract:
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a significant cause of acute coronary syndrome. SCAD frequently affects young women, often without cardiovascular risk factors. Coronary angiography is the diagnostic mode of choice. Based on clinical context, treatment is divided into conservative methods and revascularization with either percutaneous coronary intervention or bypass grafting. This case report describes a 26-year-old female with a preceding diagnosis of myopericarditis who presented to the ED with inferior STEMI and was subsequently diagnosed with a spontaneous right coronary artery dissection.
