Abstract
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has been increasingly recognized in recent years as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, and sudden death, especially among young women. However, due to the lack of clinical trials on SCAD, evidence-based guidance on management is currently lacking. Presented are four case studies that illustrate the recent insights and challenges in SCAD diagnosis and treatment.
期刊介绍:
Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
