Saved by Menorrhagia: Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Complicated With a Left Ventricular Thrombus

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-iatrogenic cause of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) resulting in a tear in the coronary artery wall with subsequent myocardial infarction. Though rare, it has been increasingly recognized, especially in young women. This is a...

description Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-iatrogenic cause of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) resulting in a tear in the coronary artery wall with subsequent myocardial infarction. Though rare, it has been increasingly recognized, especially in young women. This is a case report on SCAD where, fortuitously, the patient did not receive standard tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) on presentation of suspected ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Subsequent investigations revealed a left ventricular thrombus on echocardiogram and SCAD on coronary angiogram.
