Phase N/A

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a heart problem where the inner layer of a heart artery tears, causing a blockage. This can lead to heart attack symptoms or even sudden heart arrest. The iSCAD Registry is a study aiming to understand this condition better by collecting information from people with SCAD. It's important because SCAD affects mostly younger, healthy individuals, usually around 42 years old, who don't have typical heart disease risks.

The study will help find the best ways to prevent SCAD or stop it from happening again. It will also look into how SCAD affects people emotionally and physically. This study is both prospective (looking forward) and retrospective (looking back) and will gather details about participants' experiences with SCAD.

  • Participants must be 18 years or older with a SCAD diagnosis or suspicion.
  • You can join if you have had SCAD or are newly diagnosed.
  • The study doesn't involve treatment but focuses on collecting information.
