Why the study?
What is the prevalence of cervical artery abnormalities on CTA in patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection?
What is the prevalence of cervical artery abnormalities on CTA in patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection?
Fibromuscular dysplasia is the most common cervical artery abnormality in SCAD patients, with cervical dissections occurring more frequently than previously recognized.
Supports targeted cervical imaging in SCAD; extends FMD prevalence data but remains hypothesis-generating.
The most common abnormality in the cervical artery vasculature of patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection is fibromuscular dysplasia. Cervical dissections were higher than previously reported but were not observed in most patients.
