An Overlooked Cause of Myocardial Infarction With Normal Coronaries Presenting as Stress Cardiomyopathy in Females

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with provisional Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTS). However, because of overlapping clinical features, SCAD with subtle angiographic findings and wall motion abnormality like TTS can be easily m...

description Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with provisional Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTS). However, because of overlapping clinical features, SCAD with subtle angiographic findings and wall motion abnormality like TTS can be easily missed. Therefore, our case highlights the importance of further investigation for SCAD.
