Abstract
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a medical condition characterized by the rupture of the coronary artery wall, occurring without any external trauma. This ailment has been linked to various inflammatory, rheumatologic, and connective tissue disorders, as well as pregnancy-related changes. Despite being a less familiar cause of acute coronary syndrome, it has a considerable mortality rate, with incidence rates reaching up to 4%. This review will discuss the occurrence, pathophysiology, categorization, risk factors, diagnostic techniques, and treatment approaches related to spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
