Canadian Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Cohort Study

Open access

Abstract

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. We recorded baseline demographics, in-hospital characteristics, precipitating and predisposing conditions, angiographic features (adjudicated), in-hospital and 3-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Cox regression multivariable analysis was performed.Results We prospectively enrolled 750 consecutive patients with SCAD from June 2014 to June 2018. Mean age was 51.7 ± 10.5 years, 88.5% were women (55.0% postmenopausal); 31.3% presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and 68.3% with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Precipitating emotional stressor was reported in 50.3%, and physical stressor in 28.9%. Predisposing conditions included fibromuscular dysplasia in 42.9% (56.4% in those with complete screening), peripartum state 4.5%, and genetic disorders 1.6%. Most patients were treated conservatively (84.3%); 14.1% underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 0.7% coronary artery bypass graft. At 3.0-year median follow-up, mortality was 0.8%, recurrent MI 9.9% (extension of previous SCAD 3.5%, de novo recurrent SCAD 2.4%, iatrogenic dissection 1.9%), with overall MACE 14.0%. Presence of genetic disorders, peripartum SCAD, and extracoronary fibromuscular dysplasia were independent predictors of 3-year MACE. Patients who underwent PCI at index hospitalization had similar postdischarge MACE compared with no PCI. At 3 years, 80.0% remained on aspirin and 73.5% on beta-blockade.Conclusions Long-term mortality and de novo recurrent SCAD was low in our contemporary large SCAD cohort that included low revascularization rate and high use of beta-blockade and aspirin. Genetic disorders, extracoronary fibromuscular dysplasia, and peripartum SCAD were independent predictors of long-term MACE.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
