Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection in a Young Man.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an idiosyncratic phenomenon by which a spontaneous separation of the intimal and medial layer in the coronary artery occurs with intramural hemorrhage in the absence of trauma. This intramural hematoma, in turn, leads to compression and occlusion of the arterial lumen. Unlike traumatic dissection of coronary arteries, more than half of SCAD heals spontaneously over time.
