Hospital Outcomes of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection With Concurrent Ventricular Arrhythmias.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) occasionally present with concurrent ventricular arrhythmias (VA), the impact of VA on in-hospital outcomes in the United States (US) is not well-established. This study aims to analyze in-hospital outcomes of patients with SCAD and concurrent VA and to determine the factors associated with VA occurrence in this high-risk population in the US.

Methods

Using the Nationwide Readmissions Database, our study included patients age 18 years or older who had SCAD between 2017 and 2020. We categorized the cohort into 2 groups depending on the presence of VA during hospitalization. In-hospital outcomes were assessed between SCAD patients with VA and those without. Weighted analysis was performed. We analyzed
