SCHWARZE, Mathias et al. Acute myocardial infarction due to spontaneous two vessel coronary artery dissection. Rev Chil Cardiol [online]. 2021, vol.40, n.1, pp.59-64. ISSN 0718-8560.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-85602021000100059.

Spontaneous coronary dissection is an important cause of acute non-atherosclerotic coronary syndrome. It occurs more frequently in young women, often without significantly associated coronary arterial anomalies. Early diagnosis is a key to prompt treatment, in order to prevent severe complications. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman with an acute coronary syndrome secondary to spontaneous bi-arterial coronary dissection progressing to severe acute heart failure. A discussion of the management of this condition is included.
