Spontaneous coronary artery dissection

Over the past decade, there has been a radical change in the clinical appreciation of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), a non-atherosclerotic, non-traumatic cause of coronary syndrome and cardiac death.Recent evidence suggests that SCAD is not so rare, and that its recognition has a major therapeutic impact.The aims of this book were to describe the demographic, clinical, angiographic and therapeutic characteristics of patients with CAD, and to assess the immediate and long-term prognosis of these patients.
