Abstract
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) presents a life-threatening condition, prevalent among young women, comprising up to 35% of acute coronary syndrome cases. It involves sudden, trauma-free splitting of coronary artery walls, reducing blood flow and mimicking symptoms of acute myocardial infarction. Despite recent attention, treatment remains debated. Hormonal changes, stress, migraines, physical and psychological aspects impact the prognosis. Ongoing research aims to refine diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, addressing long-term outcomes. In this review, we have summarised current aspects of SCAD to increase awareness of the condition.
