Female patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection were more likely than males to experience overall in-hospital and follow-up adverse cardiovascular events (P=0.029).

Existing data on spontaneous coronary artery dissection were based on European and North American registries, leaving its epidemiology and outcomes in Arab Gulf countries uncharacterized.
Observational (n=83)
Yes
p-value: p=0.029
In the Arab Gulf region, SCAD affects a relatively young population with a high proportion of pregnancy-associated cases, and females experience significantly more adverse cardiovascular events than males.
