About
Dr. Kan Zen is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on rare and life-threatening cardiovascular complications, with a particular focus on spontaneous coronary artery rupture (SCAR) and its intersection with perioperative care. His most cited paper, a 2021 case report on SCAR as a rare complication of subacute pericarditis, has garnered 2 citations—a meaningful number given the extreme rarity of the condition. In this work, Dr. Zen detailed the case of a 74-year-old man who developed exertional dyspnoea after robot-assisted thoracic surgery, ultimately diagnosed with SCAR. This contribution provides critical clinical guidance for recognizing and managing a highly lethal disease that is often misdiagnosed. Dr. Zen’s research underscores the importance of vigilance in postoperative cardiac monitoring and advances the sparse literature on SCAR, offering a valuable reference for cardiologists and surgeons alike. His dedication to documenting exceptional cases helps improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in high-risk settings.
