Study of coronary artery dissection cases in Brazil
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at patients who had a specific heart blood-vessel problem called spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). Doctors are reviewing confirmed cases to better understand how SCAD is identified in real-world patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had SCAD (a spontaneous split/dissection in a heart artery).
- Your diagnosis was confirmed on a heart scan, like an angiogram or coronary CT.
- Two or more heart doctors agreed that it was SCAD based on the test results.
- Your condition was not caused by atherosclerotic plaque buildup (a typical cholesterol-related blockage) or by injury/trauma.
- You should be able to provide information from the scans and doctor review used to make the SCAD diagnosis.

This study collects information from people diagnosed with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in the last 10 years. It aims to learn more about this rare heart condition to improve future care.
This study looks for genetic (inherited) reasons some people develop SCAD, a sudden tear in a heart artery. It compares people with SCAD to people without it and may help doctors recognize risk and causes.
This trial is for people who have had a spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), a tear in a heart artery. It aims to learn more about this condition and how to treat it.
This study looks at genetic (inherited) causes of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in families. It may help researchers understand why SCAD happens and how it could be prevented or identified earlier in others.
This study looks at people admitted with a recent heart event (STEMI, NSTEMI, or unstable angina) and who were found to have SCAD on a heart scan. It may help doctors better understand and manage SCAD after these urgent events.
This study looks at how the body’s automatic “fight-or-flight” nerve system may relate to spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). If you have a SCAD history, your results may help researchers understand the condition better; if you’re a healthy control, your data are compared to SCAD patients.
