The Virtual Multicenter Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) Registry
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.
• Individuals who have been cared for at Mayo Clinic with a diagnosis of SCAD
• SCAD in women who are pregnant or within 12 months postpartum at the time of SCAD
• SCAD in individuals who self-identify as a member of a racial or ethnic group that is currently underrepresented in the registry. This would include anyone who identifies as: Black/African American, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and any race with Hispanic ethnicity
• SCAD in a man
• SCAD in persons younger than 30 years of age
• SCAD within the past 2 weeks (acute)
• SCAD patient enrolling into any other Mayo Clinic SCAD Research Study
• SCAD in individuals who have a relative that has had a SCAD event
⁃ Persons with history of SCAD who are interested in participating in the study but do not meet the updated inclusion criteria will not be enrolled at this time. However, they will be given the option to share their contact information in order to be invited to future Mayo Clinic SCAD studies.
