Highlights the extremely rare presentation of asymptomatic spontaneous coronary artery dissection and demonstrates the feasibility of conservative management.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute myocardial infarction in the young which can be life threatening. The clinical presentation is wide, ranging from simple chest pain to sudden death. Asymptomatic spontaneous coronary dissection is extremely rare. We present a case of asymptomatic spontaneous coronary artery dissection which was managed conservatively; we also review the literature and various treatment options.
