Structured PICO

Population

Planned enrollment of approximately 50 patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and a control group of patients of comparable age, sex, and clinical presentation.

Intervention

Different therapeutic strategies (observational registry)

Comparator

Control group of patients of comparable age, sex, and clinical presentation

Outcome

Occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events related to the therapeutic strategy in the acute phase and in the mid-term follow-upcomposite

The DISCOVERY registry is designed to prospectively assess the role of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in acute coronary syndromes and evaluate the outcomes of different therapeutic strategies.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

SCAD management in ACS remains uncertain; leaves open optimal strategies pending prospective registry data.
