Spontaneous coronary artery dissection and proximal LAD stenosis in a young male with HIV: A case report
HIV/AIDS patients under antiretroviral therapy have increased cardiovascular risk. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection, an uncommon yet recognized cause of acute coronary syndrome, typically affects middle-aged females, especially during pregnancy. We present a rare case of SCAD and proximal left anterior descending stenosis in a 45-year-old male with HIV.
