Spontaneous Coronary Dissection: What Have We Learned and Where Are We Headed?

pp.

Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a trigger for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), mainly in young or perimenopausal women with minimal or no cardiovascular risk factors. Diagnosis is complex. In 2022, the first multicenter registry of SCAD with long-term follow-up was published, but there are no documents or consensus statements based on real-world data in Latin America. Therefore, there is an urgent need to conduct an in-depth review of the literature to begin generating findings that can explain the behavior of the disease. This review addresses these objectives.
