Canadian Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Cohort Study: 3-Year Outcomes.

Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of myocardial infarction (MI) in young to middle-aged women.

Objectives: We aim to define the long-term natural history of SCAD.

Methods: We performed a multicenter, prospective, observational study of patients with nonatherosclerotic SCAD presenting acutely from 22 North American centers.

Differences in Demographics and Outcomes Between Men and Women With Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection.

Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of myocardial infarction (MI) that most frequently affects women. The characteristics of men with SCAD are less well described.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of men with SCAD.

Differences in Revascularization Strategy and Outcomes by Clinical Presentations in Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection.

Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of myocardial infarction (MI). However, the role of revascularization for SCAD according to presentation remains unclear.

Methods: We analyzed patients with SCAD who presented acutely and were participating in the Canadian SCAD Cohort Study.
