Article Synopsis
- A 16-year-old girl experienced syncope during a race, with significantly elevated troponin levels indicating potential heart issues, leading to a diagnosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD).
- Despite presenting with unusual symptoms for SCAD, the girl's condition worsened to cardiogenic shock, requiring urgent medical intervention including stenting of the left main coronary artery after confirming the diagnosis with imaging.
- The case emphasizes that SCAD should be considered in young, low-risk patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome symptoms, as timely diagnosis and treatment can lead to positive outcomes.
