Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare presentation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and can potentially lead to sudden cardiac death. SCAD is particularly seen in young females and/or patients with relatively few cardiovascular risk factors which further makes it a diagnostic conundrum. This article aims to highlight the causes, clinical presentation, treatment options, and complications of SCAD in addition to a case report of a young gentleman who was found to have SCAD.
自发性冠状动脉夹层（SCAD）是急性冠状动脉综合征（ACS）的一种罕见表现，可能导致心源性猝死。SCAD在年轻女性和/或心血管危险因素相对较少的患者中尤为常见，这进一步使其成为一个诊断难题。本文旨在强调SCAD的病因、临床表现、治疗选择和并发症，并报告一例被诊断为SCAD的年轻男性病例。
