In a cohort with spontaneous coronary artery dissection, significant cardiovascular complications occurred within 30 days despite the majority being treated conservatively.
What are the in-hospital and 30-day outcomes of patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection managed predominantly conservatively?
In patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection, conservative management is associated with good survival but a notable risk of cardiovascular complications within the first 30 days.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection predominantly affects women and presents with MI. Despite majority of patients being treated conservatively, survival was good. However, significant cardiovascular complications occurred within 30 days. Long-term follow-up and further investigations on management are warranted.
Saw et al. (2019) studied this question. In a cohort with spontaneous coronary artery dissection, significant cardiovascular complications occurred within 30 days despite the majority being treated conservatively.
