N2  -  Summary. Background. Cardiac arrest secondary to a spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) represents a challenging scenario. Methods. We collected clinical data from four women admitted in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) of the Parma University Hospital over the last two years for cardiac arrest with the angiographic diagnosis of SCAD. Results. Three patients survived the acute phases. One patient, being considered at high risk of SCAD recurrence, received a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD). Conclusions. The acute management of cardiac arrest related to SCAD deserves specific consideration. The residual myocardial damage and the predisposing and precipitants factors should be evaluated, in order to estimate the SCAD recurrence and sudden cardiac death risks.
