Imaging in Cardiology
Should all spontaneous coronary dissections need to be diagnosed by intracoronary imaging techniques?
Abstract
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis of SCAD is based only on angiography in most of the studies (1-3) and the angiographic type 1 pattern is considered pathognomonic of an SCAD.
