ClinConnect Summary

The Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection National Swiss Registry, also known as the SwissSCAD registry, is a research study focused on understanding a condition called spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). This condition mainly affects younger women who usually don’t have typical heart disease risk factors. SCAD can lead to serious heart problems, like heart attacks or even sudden cardiac arrest. The goal of this study is to learn more about how SCAD develops, its outcomes, and the different treatments available.

If you're an adult aged 18 or older and have been diagnosed with SCAD recently or within the last five years, you might be eligible to participate. To join the study, you would need to agree to take part by signing an informed consent form. Participants will be monitored over time, helping researchers gather important information about SCAD. This study is a chance to contribute to a better understanding of SCAD, which is still not very well known, and to help improve care for future patients.
