Case Report (n=1)
Medical therapy is a viable option for patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection who are free of angina or heart failure symptoms and have preserved coronary blood flow.
Putniković et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) (n=1). Medical therapy (dual antiplatelet therapy, LMWH, beta-blocker, ACE inhibitor, statin) was evaluated. Medical therapy was a viable option for a 41-year-old woman with spontaneous coronary artery dissection, who remained asymptomatic with preserved coronary blood flow at 2 years.
