Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Association With Predisposing Arteriopathies and Precipitating Stressors and Cardiovascular Outcomes (2014, background): “This elucidates the natural history of SCAD confirming that dissected arteries tend to heal spontaneously, corroborating previous smaller reported series that also showed frequent occurrence of spontaneous healing.(9,18) Furthermore, in our cohort of conservatively managed patients, in-hospital recu”

ESC working group position paper on myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries. (2016, background): “Most dissections occur in the absence of atherosclerotic disease and in these cases, statin therapy is not recommended.(42) A conservative management approach is advocated because coronary intervention and stenting tend to cause propagation of the dissection and outcomes are acceptable with medical ”
