Chronic or Changeable Infarct Size after Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection.

ABSTRACT: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) could be the cause of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and sudden cardiac death. Clinical presentations can vary considerably, but the most common is the elevation of cardiac biomarkers associated with chest discomfort. Different pathological etiology in comparison with Type 1 AMI is the underlying infarct size in this population. A 42-year-old previously healthy woman presented with SCAD. Detailed diagnostical processing and treatment which were performed could not prevent myocardial injury. The catheterization laboratory was the initial place for the establishment of a diagnosis and proper management. The management process can be very fast and sometimes additional imaging methods are necessary. Finding predictors of SCAD recurrence is chall
