Despite marked advancements in the recognition and diagnosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) over the past decade, knowledge of the basic pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease, contributing factors, and treatment continue to be poorly understood. We describe significant research gaps in our knowledge of SCAD and introduce strategi...
Introduction:
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a nonatherosclerotic cause of myocardial infarction. Migraine headache has been reported to be common among patients with SCAD, but the degree of migraine-related disability has not been quantified.
Methods:
Clinical data and headache variables were obtained from the baseline assessm...
Background
Myocardial infarction secondary to spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) can be traumatic and potentially trigger posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In a large, multicenter, registry‐based cohort, we documented prevalence of lifetime and past‐month SCAD‐induced PTSD, as well as related treatment seeking, and examined a range o...
Introduction: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a nonatherosclerotic cause of myocardial infarction. The demographics and clinical differences based on race in patients with SCAD are not well understood.
Methods: Demographics and clinical variables were obtained from the prospective, multicenter iSCAD Registry. Characteristics of stu...
Introduction: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a cause of acute coronary syndrome in younger patients. Though associated with lower short and long-term mortality, there is still a need to identify the subset of patients who are at a higher risk of adverse events or a more complex hospital course.
Methods: Using data from the iSCAD R...
Introduction: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of acute coronary syndrome especially in young patients. Factors associated with delays in presentation and care delivery are not well understood.
Methods: We used data from the iSCAD Registry which is a prospective multicenter US registry of patients with SCAD. Early...
Introduction: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is standard for patients (pts.) with acute coronary syndrome due to atherosclerosis. Evidence to support DAPT vs single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) for spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is limited. Hypothesis: Prescription of DAPT vs SAPT varies among specialized centers for SCAD. Methods:...
Introduction: Association of takotsubo syndrome (TTS) with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has been described previously. Characteristics and in-hospital prognosis of SCAD patients with concomitant TTS remain unclear.
Methods: Patients with angiography-confirmed SCAD were selected from the iSCAD Registry and underwent core lab adjudic...
Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a nonatherosclerotic etiology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that primarily affects younger women with few traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate how younger age impacts the perception of care women receive in the emergency d...
Purpose:
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a nonatherosclerotic type of acute myocardial infarction that primarily affects young, healthy women without typical risk factors for heart disease. Few investigations have examined psychosocial variables in this population and none have looked at patient perceptions of the experience and s...
