Does potent antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulation affect the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and recurrence in patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection?
Potent antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulation may be harmful in patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection, supporting the hypothesis that the condition is primarily caused by intramural bleeding.
The findings support the hypothesis that SCAD is primarily caused by intramural bleeding, with a harmful association of more potent antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulation with adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
Dang et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
