"Coronary artery dissection occurs mainly in young, otherwise health patients especially in females in whom 84% of cases occur ¹. One study found the prevalence of coronary artery dissection in patients undergoing coronary angiography to be 0.1% with a mean age of 44 years ². In another study the the peak prevalence was at around 47 and 53 years ⁸. It is also thought to account for the highest prevalence (~15–20%) of peripartum myocardial infarctions ⁸."
