Why the study?
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition predominantly affecting women, particularly during pregnancy or the postpartum period.
Highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies of peripartum spontaneous coronary artery dissection in a 41-year-old African woman.
May heighten suspicion for peripartum SCAD in African women; extends sparse case data but leaves management questions open.
