Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Presenting As ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a non-traumatic spontaneous separation of a coronary wall that can present as acute myocardial infarction. Pregnant females are already at a considerably higher risk of acute myocardial infarction when compared to non-pregnant women of child-bearing a...

description Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a non-traumatic spontaneous separation of a coronary wall that can present as acute myocardial infarction. Pregnant females are already at a considerably higher risk of acute myocardial infarction when compared to non-pregnant women of child-bearing age, and dissection explains the majority of these cases. Here, we present a 36-year-old female at 36-weeks gestation who experienced ventricular fibrillation arrest after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) secondary to spontaneous dissection of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery.
