FULL TEXT
Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized and potentially fatal cause of myocardial infarction (MI) that predominantly affects young women (1, 2). Pregnancy is considered a contributory factor in approximately 12% to 30% of events (1, 3, 4) and recurrence is now recognized, with 10-year Kaplan–Meier estimated rates as high as 29% (1). Current recommendations to avoid pregnancy after SCAD are based on the presumed increased risk for recurrence with pregnancy, although, to our knowledge, assessment of pregnancy after SCAD has not been described.
Objective: To determine the risk for subsequent events in patients who became pregnant after SCAD.
