Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a non-traumatic, non-iatrogenic, and non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disorder that manifests clinically as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death (SCD). It is a rare cause of ACS (1.7-4%) and SCD (0.5%), more commonly in women than men. It is rarely reported in males. We report a case of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to SCAD in a 44-year-old healthy male.
自发性冠状动脉夹层(SCAD)是一种非创伤性、非医源性且非动脉粥样硬化性的冠状动脉疾病,临床上表现为急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)、心律失常或心源性猝死(SCD)。它是ACS(1.7 - 4%)和SCD(0.5%)的罕见病因,女性比男性更常见。男性中鲜有报道。我们报告一例44岁健康男性因SCAD导致的急性ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)病例。
