Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an underrecognized form of nonatherosclerotic acute coronary syndrome, mostly occurring in younger female patients. The knowledge base about the diagnosis and management of SCAD has grown over the past decade, but gaps remain in how best to approach this disease. This article reviews the research on the prevalence, presentation, and management of SCAD.
