La dissection spontanée de l'artère coronaire (DSAC) est un problème rare, mais grave, qui se produit lorsque les vaisseaux sanguins du cœur se déchirent. Cette déchirure peut ralentir ou bloquer le flux sanguin vers le cœur, ce qui peut endommager le muscle du cœur ou provoquer une arythmie cardiaque. 1, record 1, French, - dissection%20spontan%C3%A9e%20de%20l%26rsquo%3Bart%C3%A8re%20coronaire
