Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) Case Reports
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important and often underdiagnosed cause of acute coronary syndrome, particularly in young and middle-aged women without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. It involves a non-traumatic, non-atherosclerotic separation of the coronary arterial wall, leading to compromised blood flow and myocardial ischemia.
This section of Case Reports and Case Series in Cardiology Journal focuses on SCAD case reports, providing a platform for clinicians to share rare presentations, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies in real-world clinical practice.
