Management and outcomes of spontaneous coronary artery dissection: a systematic review of the literature

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

JANUARY 15, 2024

Methods The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines were followed when we extensively searched three electronic databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science, for studies that compared conservative vs. invasive revascularization treatment outcomes for patients with SCAD from 2003 to 2023.

Background The prognosis of myocardial ischaemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) and its underlying vasomotor disorders, vasospastic angina (VSA) and microvascular angina (MVA), is not well defined.

This is a value typical for a large subacute MI, n ormal value 48 hours after myocardial infarction is associated with Post-Infarction Regional Pericarditis ( PIRP ). Mechanical complications secondary to myocardial infarction are infrequent due to most patients receiving revascularization quite rapidly.

Thus, it has recently become generally accepted that most plaque ruptures resulting in myocardial infarction occur in plaques that narrow the lumen diameter by 40% of the arterial cross section may be involved by plaque.

So there is probability of myocardial injury here (and because it is in the correct clinical setting, then myocardial infarction.) Thus, the patient does not (yet) get a formal diagnosis of MI and must be called unstable angina unless further troponins return above the 99th percentile. Repeat ECG is shown below.

Non-STEMI guidelines call for “urgent/immediate invasive strategy is indicated in patients with NSTE-ACS who have refractory angina or hemodynamic or electrical instability,” regardless of ECG findings.[1] 1] European guidelines add "regardless of biomarkers".

3 Patients with ASCVD are at a higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and cardiovascular (CV) death.4 As of June 2023, the U.S. The benefit was most significant in reducing the incidence of stroke and angina requiring revascularization.35

Typical angina was defined as a symptom complex that includes substernal chest pressure or pain that was made worse with exertion/emotional stress, and relieved by rest or nitroglycerin. Atypical angina is classified as having any two of the three symptoms, and non-anginal pain any one of the three symptoms.

I do not have her previous ECGs, but reportedly these T-wave inversions were not present previously. Her initial cTnI returned at 0.25 I'll supplement the excellent presentation by Dr.
