Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is one of the rare causes of acute coronary syndrome in young healthy individuals especially women without having any conventional risk factors for coronary artery disease. We describe a case of 34-year-old healthy man with diffuse multiple SCADs who presented with acute coronary syndrome and was managed conservatively with an uneventful course on long-term follow-up.
