Highlights the clinical importance of considering genetic vasculopathies, such as vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, in young adults presenting with spontaneous coronary artery dissection and myocardial infarction.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an atypical cause of myocardial infarction, predominantly seen in women. Among various predisposing factors, genetic vasculopathies such as connective tissue diseases significantly contribute to SCAD. This report discusses a 36-year-old male diagnosed with vascular type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome following an anterior myocardial infarction and explores relevant literature.
