Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: An Unusual Cause of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Young Males

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a non-traumatic, non-iatrogenic, and non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disorder that manifests clinically as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death (SCD). It is a rare cause of ACS (1.7-4%) and SCD (0.5%), more commonl...

Descripción
Sumario:Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a non-traumatic, non-iatrogenic, and non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disorder that manifests clinically as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death (SCD). It is a rare cause of ACS (1.7-4%) and SCD (0.5%), more commonly in women than men. It is rarely reported in males. We report a case of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to SCAD in a 44-year-old healthy male.
