  • Title: Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Case Series from a Tertiary Centre.
    Author: Anderson RD, Jayadeva PS, Wilson WM, Iyer R.
    Journal: Heart Lung Circ; 2016 Mar; 25(3):e41-5. PubMed ID: 26643288.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of non-atherosclerotic acute coronary syndrome (ACS). As it is more commonly seen in young women, the diagnosis can be missed. Current evidence is based on case reports and retrospective studies with no consensus recommendations on immediate management and long-term follow-up. We present a case series of four patients to outline clinical presentation, prognosis and long-term management of this rare clinical entity.
