简介:Traumatic coronary artery dissection is a very rare cause of myocardial infarction. Occurrence of this condition late in the posttraumatic period is extremely uncommon. We present a case of a young patient with acute myocardial infarction 4 weeks after blunt chest trauma. Coronary angiography sho...
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition if it goes unrecognized. Symptoms can range from chest pain to sudden cardiac death. We present a case of 33 year-old female marathon runner who presented to emergency department (ED) complaining of...
withcoronary artery bypassgrafting or coronary intervention achieve a more favourable outcome than those who receive supportive treatment, but the location and clinical symptoms associated with the dissection will usually determine management[42,43].Coronary arterydissection is also a recognised complication ...
The diagnosis of SCAD should be strongly considered in any patient who presents with symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial ischemia, particularly in young subjects without traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease (especially in young women during the peripartum period or in association with...
The left coronary artery system is the most frequently diseased, although the pattern of artery involvement is gender-based. Clinically, the presentation spectrum ranges from mild symptoms to sudden cardiac death. The major pathophysiologic processes underlying medial dissection are the presence of an ...
Long term, symptoms recur in only about 3-4% of patients per year. Five years after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, survival expectancy is 90%, at 10 years it is about 80%, at 15 years it is about 55%, and at 20 years it is about 40%. Angina recurs in about 40% of patie...
Background Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) found typically in young females without classical coronary risk factors is thought to be a very rare cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Previous angiographic studies have reported that SCAD is observed only in 0.07% to 1.1% of patients...
However, it has become clear that diagnostic accuracy of CAD could be reflected according to different symptoms in order for the treatments to be of maximal benefit. TCM, often seen as one of the most important parts in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), has fought against such...

The concurrence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection with antiphospholipid syndrome and Takayasu???s arteritis has not been reported in the previous literature. The possibility of a spontaneous coronary artery dissection should be considered in patients presenting with both diseases. 展开 ...
