Prevalence of Coronary Vasospasm Using Coronary Reactivity Testing in Patients With Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection
2019, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Images from this patient's left heart catheterization are shown in Figure 1. The association between coronary vasospasm and prior SCAD has been reported, but only in case report format.3–9 SCAD is an uncommon phenomenon and case reports may overestimate the actual prevalence of coronary vasospasm in these individuals.12
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection
2014, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive description of SCADs, review their presentation and outcomes from the available literature, and critically appraise current diagnostic and therapeutic options. SCAD is a relatively rare presentation of coronary disease with an estimated prevalence of 0.07–0.28% [12–17] and an annual incidence of 0.26 cases per 100,000 persons (0.33 in women, 0.18 in men) among US subjects [18]. Since the first case described by Pretty in 1931 [19], a total of only ~ 1125 SCADs (Appendix A) have been reported in literature consisting largely of individual cases or case series and rarely of small single-center registries (< 90 patients).
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection following a preeclampsia pregnancy
2014, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Aspirin and clopidogrel were continued and enoxaparin for DVT was resumed when patient became stable. SCAD is a rare cause of myocardial infarction with incidence of 0.28–2% based on coronary angiographic series with a mean age of 42.6–48.7 [1–3]. The 77%–84% of cases were women with 18% associated with pregnancy [1,3,4].
Spontaneous left main coronary artery dissection in pregnancy
2012, International Journal of CardiologySpontaneous coronary artery dissection: A disease-specific, social networking community-initiated study
2011, Mayo Clinic ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :Ultimately, we aim to provide a higher-powered, descriptive database including prospective biospecimen and DNA collection, physical and mental well-being assessment of participants, and comparisons with age- and sex-matched controls. With collaborating centers, we plan to develop a prospective trial to further guide short- and long-term treatment because, as demonstrated by our cohort and others,2–4,6–13 significant variability exists in the short- and long-term management of SCAD. This pilot was limited by its design to reporting on a small and highly selected group of female survivors of SCAD from a single social networking site.
Postpartum spontaneous coronary dissection presenting with ventricular fibrillation
2011, Journal of Cardiology CasesCitation Excerpt :However, since the introduction of PCI, survival rates have significantly improved [4]. Furthermore, ultrasonographic technologies such as intravascular coronary ultrasound (IVUS) may allow for the detailed determination of the nature (intra-luminal vs. sub-intimal) and extent of coronary dissection, potentially minimizing the number of stents required [11–13]. Yet, the use of IVUS currently remains controversial in hemodynamically unstable patients [14].
