          Abstract

          Background

          Multiple spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare condition which may lead to serious consequences such as sudden cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and acute heart failure.

          Case summary

          In this paper, we report the case of a 57-year-old woman with acute myelocytic leukaemia who was undergoing her second phase of chemotherapy. After the first induction cycle of intravenous infusion of daunorubicin, the patient experienced chest pain, shortness of breath, and low blood pressure. The electrocardiograms revealed significant ST-elevation in the D1, aVL, and V2–V6 leads, which indicated AMI. Coronary catheterization showed spontaneous coronary dissection in the mid-left descending coronary artery and first obtuse marginal artery of the circumflex. The patient died immediately.

          Discussion

          This is the first reported case of multiple SCAD associated with intravenous (IV) daunorubicin infusion. We also reviewed the literature and proposed the mechanism of this complication.

            Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Current State of the Science: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

            Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has emerged as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, and sudden death, particularly among young women and individuals with few conventional atherosclerotic risk factors. Patient-initiated research has spurred increased awareness of SCAD, and improved diagnostic capabilities and findings from large case series have led to changes in approaches to initial and long-term management and increasing evidence that SCAD not only is more common than previously believed but also must be evaluated and treated differently from atherosclerotic myocardial infarction. High rates of recurrent SCAD; its association with female sex, pregnancy, and physical and emotional stress triggers; and concurrent systemic arteriopathies, particularly fibromuscular dysplasia, highlight the differences in clinical characteristics of SCAD compared with atherosclerotic disease. Recent insights into the causes of, clinical course of, treatment options for, outcomes of, and associated conditions of SCAD and the many persistent knowledge gaps are presented.

              Spontaneous coronary artery dissection: association with predisposing arteriopathies and precipitating stressors and cardiovascular outcomes.

              Nonatherosclerotic spontaneous coronary artery dissection (NA-SCAD) is underdiagnosed and an important cause of myocardial infarction in young women. The frequency of predisposing and precipitating conditions and cardiovascular outcomes remains poorly described.
