Brief Summary

The primary goal of this project is to describe the clinical and physiologic characteristics of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissections (SCAD) in order to increase awareness, understanding, treatment and prevention of a potentially fatal cardiovascular event. This study will be a retrospective and prospective review of medical course and current health of men and women with SCAD.

Conditions

SCAD; Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection

Keywords

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection; SCAD; coronary artery disease; myocardial infarction; coronary dissection

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  Obtain data regarding SCAD related risk factors, presenting characteristics, treatments and long term outcomes.

  Continuous time frame following index event for 2-10 years from study contact date.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Physical Health Update

  Continuous time frame following index event for 2-10 years from study contact date.

• Mental Health Update

  Continuous time frame following index event for 2-10 years from study contact date.

Study Arms (1)

SCAD Registry

Individuals who have experienced at least one episode of spontaneous coronary artery dissection.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Men and women with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) as confirmed on angiogram.
