Abstract
Background Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an understudied cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly in women. Heart muscle damage may result from spontaneous dissection of coronary arteries. There is no clear consensus regarding the optimum antiplatelet medication regimen and treatment duration for SCAD despite current American Heart Association (AHA) consensus guidelines recommending 12-month regimen of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) consisting of a P2Y12 inhibitor and aspirin for patients following myocardial infarction (MI). The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of DAPT compared to using a single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) as part of the medical armamentarium to treat SCAD.
