Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an underestimated cause of acute coronary syndromes. A predisposing arteriopathy is often present and a stressor can sometimes be identified. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disorder; its associated arteriopathy has been described as a predisposing condition for SCAD.
