Publication Pregnancy-associated Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: A Case Report And The Lessons From Practice.(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2023) ;Tan Wei Ming ;Julian Tey Hock Chuan ;Asri Ranga Abdullah Ramaiah ;Hana Maizuliana Solehan ;Sarah Zulaikha SamadSia Koon KetPregnancy-associated spontaneous coronary artery dissection (P-SCAD) is one of the fatal conditions that most commonly causes pregnancy-associated myocardial infarction. We herein report a case of P-SCAD in a 26-year-old multigravida woman, who complained of angina postpartum with raised cardiac biomarkers and transient ST-segment elevation on electrocardiograms. We emphasize the importance of a high degree of suspicion in the diagnosis of P-SCAD, together with the common presentation, the management approach, and its psychological impacts on the patients.
