Lookman Lawal1, Richard Lange, Steven Schulman.   

Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is an uncommon cause of acute coronary syndrome in young healthy females, with pregnancy and the use of oral contraceptive pills as recognized predisposing factors. We present two cases of acute myocardial infarction in two young females without significant risk factors and review the literature on spontaneous coronary artery dissection including diagnosis and treatment options.
