View PDF View FulltextSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare and emergent condition where a tear in the intimal portion of the coronary artery produces ischemia to the myocardium – mimicking coronary atherosclerotic obstruction. SCAD is typically found in younger and middle-aged females (around 87-95% of cases) and has a relatively high rate of recurrence with one prospective cohort demonstrating a 10.4% recurrence rate. This same cohort indicates a high association between SCAD and connective tissue disorders. It is estimated that connective tissue disorders and arteriopathies ....
