Spontaneous coronary artery dissection, a rare cause of heart disease, is usually fatal and affects young women. This case highlights a long dissection flap in a male patient with mild symptoms, offering new insights into this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Vascular Biology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon cause of ischemic heart disease.
  • SCAD predominantly affects young women and often carries a high mortality rate.

Observation:

  • This report details an unusual case of SCAD in a male patient.
  • The patient presented with minimal symptoms despite a diagnosed very long dissection flap.

Findings:

  • Coronary angiography revealed an extensive dissection flap, which is atypical for SCAD presentations.
  • The case challenges typical demographic and severity associations with SCAD.

Implications:

  • Understanding SCAD pathogenesis in diverse populations is crucial.

  • Further research is needed to clarify the prognosis and management strategies for SCAD, particularly in male patients.
