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]
- History of smoking
- Atherosclerosis
- Cocaine abuse[6]
- Presence of a Connective tissue disorder: Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 4, cystic medial necrosis, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, or polycystic kidney disease[7]
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.
- The most common symptom is an acute and severe onset of chest pain that may radiate to jaw and left arm.
Patients may present with:[8]
- chronic stable angina
- myocardial infarction
- 25% to 50% of cases are STEMI
- cardiogenic shock
- sudden death
- 50% of sudden death cases were reported to have dissections in the left main coronary artery.[9]
- pericardial tamponade
Patients are typically asymptomatic on follow up.[8]
