Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

The true prevalence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) remains unknown. The prevalence of SCAD is estimated at 0.2% in the whole population, 8.7% in women <50 years with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and 10.8% in women <50 years with ST elevation-ACS.[1]

Incidence

The annual incidence of SCAD is estimated at 0.26 per 100,000 persons (0.33 in women and 0.18 in men), corresponding to 800 new cases of SCAD per year in the United States.[2] Retrospective angiographic registries have reported SCAD detection in 0.1 to 1.1% of all coronary angiograms performed.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Case Fatality Rate

In-hospital mortality of SCAD is relatively low with an estimated rate of 0 to 4%.[1]

Age

Gender

SCAD has a strong predilection for young women with no or minimal traditional atherosclerotic risk factors. Studies indicate that SCAD accounts for approximately 25% of women aged < 50 who present with myocardial infarction.[11]

Race







The left anterior descending artery (LAD) is the most commonly affected artery.[12][13] Although multivessel SCAD has been reported, single vessel SCAD is much more common. In women LAD is frequently involved[12] while in men right coronary artery is involved more often. Men tend to present at a slightly later age and also with evidence of CAD risk factors.

Observational studies have reported that SCAD is common among young women during their peripartum period[14] or in association with use of oral contraceptives. About 80% of SCAD cases reported so far have occurred in young women, especially those taking oral contraceptives (OCPs) or those in the peripartum period.[15][8][16] Possible mechanisms underlying increased prevalence of SCAD in this population include: changes in the arterial wall media due to increasing hormone levels, shear stress during labor, fragmentation of reticulin fibers, loosening of ground substance, and hypertrophy of smooth muscle.[17]
