Article Abstract
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare but underrecognized cause of acute coronary syndrome. It is mostly reported in female patients. In this report, however, we describe this rare and unique case of multivessel SCAD in a 52-year-old man. He was presented with chest pain, significant elevated cardiac troponin level, and T-wave changes in electrocardiogram. Coronary angiography showed multivessel SCAD involving his circumflex and right coronary arteries. The patient was conservatively managed. He has recovered well and was discharged a week after admission. Coronary angiography is still considered the gold standard for diagnosis of multivessel SCAD. Conservative treatment is recommended in most conditions unless there is a necessity for interventional treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the myocardial ischemic segments and related factors in stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) patients by native T1 mapping.
Methods: 316 SCAD patients and 30 healthy controls (all right coronary dominant) underwent CMR native T1 mapping within 90 days of CCTA. Segmental native T1 values were measured using AHA 16-segment model.

We describe a case of a 38-year-old woman who presented with acute pleuritic chest pain following 3 days of emesis. There was a significant rise in troponin-I, consistent with a non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Coronary angiography demonstrated a probable spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) with intramural haematoma of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery.

Background: The AEGIS-II (ApoA-I Event Reducing in Ischemic Syndromes-II; NCT03473223) trial evaluated CSL112, a human plasma-derived apolipoprotein A-I therapy, for reducing cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Given CSL112's potential anti-inflammatory properties, we conducted an exploratory post hoc analysis to determine if its efficacy is influenced by baseline neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a marker of systemic inflammation, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of baseline NLR and cardiovascular events and explore whether NLR and LDL-C modify CSL112's efficacy in post-AMI patients.
Screening for fibromuscular dysplasia after spontaneous coronary artery dissection unmasks a massive right renal artery aneurysm requiring ex vivo surgical resection and autotransplantation.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognised cause of acute coronary syndrome predominantly affecting women (>90% of cases) that is frequently associated with other arteriopathies, such as fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and migraine. We present a case of multi-vessel SCAD in a woman in her 40s presenting with myocardial infarction in whom incidental widespread FMD was found, including a massive right renal artery aneurysm requiring ex vivo resection, repair and autotransplantation. The case underscores the need for routine angiographic screening for FMD, which has a shared genetic risk with SCAD, and is associated with aneurysms, stenoses and hypertension.
