Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has been increasingly recognized in recent years as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, and sudden death, especially among young women. However, due to the lack of clinical trials on SCAD, evidence-based guidance on management is currently lacking.
