Why the study?
Accurate diagnosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection is essential because management differs from atherosclerotic ACS, but false positive and false negative angiographic diagnoses remain common.
Accurate diagnosis of SCAD using invasive coronary angiography and intracoronary imaging is essential to differentiate it from mimickers and ensure appropriate management.

SCAD-specific ACS management requires accurate angiographic diagnosis; leaves open prospective validation of criteria and outcomes.
