| Description: |
Background Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) constitute two relatively common non-atherosclerotic causes of acute cardiac syndrome particularly frequent in women. Methods Herein we compared the baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of 2 large prospective registries on SCAD and TTS. Results A total of 318 SCAD and 106 TTS patients were included (88% women). Patients in the TTS group were older (Table) and presented a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. Precipitating triggers were more frequent in TTS patients (42% vs. 56%, P=0.009) but emotional stress was more common in the SCAD group (25% vs. 15%, P=0.037). SCAD patients had higher troponin and creatine-kinase levels. The left anterior descending coronary artery was the most frequently involved vessel (44%). Left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction 57±10 vs. 40±10%, P |
