The etiology of SCAD appears to be multifactorial and is often precipitated by physical and emotional stress superimposed on underlying arteriopathy, connective tissue disorders, systemic inflammatory disorders, genetic factors, and hormonal influences. There are no current societal guidelines to stratify young soldiers\u2019 risk of developing SCAD. Diagnosis typically requires invasive coronary artery angiography which is largely unavailable in stations with limited medical resources. Furthermore, young patients with SCAD often present with atypical cardiac symptoms, such as heartburn leading to the misdiagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease and a delay in diagnosis and management. We present a 21-year-old active duty male who was transferred from Okinawa, Japan to a tertiary military medical center for evaluation of hypercoagulable conditions after CT revealed non-obstructing portal venous thrombosis extending to right hepatic vein, splenic vein thrombosis with splenic infarct, and bilateral wedge-shaped renal infarct. Extensive work-up ultimately revealed mid-left anterior descending spiral dissection with transmural infarct of inferior, anteroseptal, and inferoseptal wall resulting in the formation of left ventricular thrombus, subsequently causing thromboembolism to multiple organs. This case demonstrates the ramifications of SCAD when diagnosis and management are delayed and serve as a poignant reminder for all providers to include SCAD in the differential diagnosis for young soldiers with atypical chest pain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usad347","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,31]],"date-time":"2023-08-31T18:30:25Z","timestamp":1693506625000},"page":"e888-e893","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An
