Deskripsi

To the Editor, Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a misdiagnosed condition that has emerged as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome and sudden death, especially in women under 50. In these patients it is responsible for 30% of all the cases of such syndrome.1 However, only between 10% and 15% of all SCADs are diagnosed in male patients.
