Overview

The annual incidence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection is estimated at 0.26 per 100,000 persons (0.33 in women and 0.18 in men), corresponding to approximately 800 new cases per year in the United States. The true prevalence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in the general population remains unknown; however, retrospective angiographic registries have reported a SCAD detection rate of 0.1 to 1.1% among all coronary angiograms performed.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

The true prevalence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) remains unknown. The prevalence from a prospective interventional cardiology laboratory database was estimated at 0.2% in the study population, 8.7% in women <50 years with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and 10.8% in women <50 years with ST elevation ACS.[1] Retrospective angiographic registries have reported a SCAD detection rate of 0.1 to 1.1% among all coronary angiograms performed.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Incidence

The annual incidence of SCAD is estimated at 0.26 per 100,000 persons (0.33 in women and 0.18 in men), corresponding to approximately 800 new cases per year in the United States.[10]

Case Fatality Rate

The case fatality rate of SCAD is relatively low compared with other causes of ACS, with an estimated in-hospital mortality rate of 0 to 4%.[1]

Age

The prevalence of SCAD decreases with age, and is estimated at 7.6%, 4.0%, 2.1%, and 1.2% in women below the age of 40, 50, 60, and 70, respectively.[1]

Gender

SCAD has a strong predilection for young women with no or minimal traditional cardiovascular risk factors. SCAD is one of the most common non-atherosclerotic coronary artery diseases in women <50 years of age and accounts for one-fourth of myocardial infarctions.[11] The risk of SCAD has been associated with pregnancy as well as the use of oral contraceptives.[12][13][14] Possible mechanisms underlying increased prevalence of SCAD in this population include structural alterations in the arterial wall secondary to hormonal change, increased shear stress during labor, fragmentation of reticulin fibers, loosening of ground substance, and hypertrophy of smooth muscle.[15]

Race

There is limited information regarding the race and ethnicity of patients with SCAD.
