Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of acute myocardial infarction. We examine 4 atypical presentations of SCAD. These cases highlight treatment course and outcomes for patients with SCAD who do not present with acute coronary syndrome.

Keywords: acute coronary syndrome; dissection; fibromuscular dysplasia; myocardial infarction.
