Overview
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection may occur as a result of predisposing factors (e.g., vasculopathy, pregnancy, connective tissue disorder, systemic inflammation) compounded by precipitating stressors (e.g., strenuous exercise, emotional stress, recreational drugs).
Causes
The exact etiology of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) remains elusive and appears to be multifactorial. It has been postulated that the phenotypic expression of SCAD may occur as a result of predisposing factors compounded by precipitating stressors.[1] Among the conditions associated with the occurrence of SCAD, fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) have been suggested to have a causal relationship with SCAD.
Fibromuscular Dysplasia
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
