Overview
History
Patients presenting with typical symptoms of acute coronary syndromes and the following clinical characteristics may have suspected spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD):
- Physical exertion[1]
- Emotional stress[2]
- Women with an average age ranging from 43 to 50 years[3][4]
- Postpartum status or history of pregnancy[5]
- Smoking
- Atherosclerosis
Many patients do not have a previous history of cardiovascular disease or other risk factors and SCAD is idopathic[3]
Symptoms
The symptoms of SCAD mimic other acute coronary syndromes, with an acute and severe onset of chest pain that may radiate to jaw and left arm Patients may present with chronic stable angina, myocardial infarction,[6] cardiogenic shock, sudden death[7] and/or pericardial tamponade. 50% of sudden death cases were reported to have dissections in the left main coronary artery. Patients are typically asymptomatic on follow up.[6]
