This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of SCAD presenting as AMI and the potential need for advanced imaging and complex percutaneous interventions to manage complications and restenosis.
SCAD (spontaneous coronary artery dissection) proves to be a pathology of several manifestations, whose clinical diagnosis is a challenge for emergency departments. Therefore, their early identification and knowledge of the various forms of presentation are mandatory for optimal medical therapy. We present a case report of a 45-year-old patient who was admitted to the coronary unit showing symptoms and laboratory tests compatible with myocardial infarction. Complete diagnosis was obtained only with more specific exams. The manifestations of the disease in the case described and the main features of the disease are discussed.
