ClinConnect Summary

The SCAD study is looking at a condition called Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD), which is a serious heart problem that can happen without the typical risks associated with heart disease. This condition primarily affects younger women and can lead to sudden heart issues. The goal of this trial is to create the first large registry in Europe to gather information about SCAD, helping doctors better understand how to diagnose and treat it. By collecting data from many patients, researchers hope to improve guidelines for treatment and increase awareness among healthcare providers.

To participate in the study, you need to be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with SCAD within the last 10 years. You’ll also need to provide consent to join the study. If you decide to participate, your experiences and medical information will contribute to important research that aims to improve care for others with this condition. This is a great opportunity to help advance the understanding of SCAD and potentially benefit future patients.
