Clinical outcomes by angiographic type of spontaneous coronary artery dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly diagnosed cause of myocardial infarction. Although different SCAD angiographic classifications exist, their clinical impact remains unknown.
