Comparing heart medicines for spontaneous coronary artery dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests two common heart medicines (beta-blockers and antiplatelets) to see which works better for people who have had a spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), a tear in a heart artery. It aims to prevent future heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), a tear in a heart artery that is not caused by injury or a procedure.
- You were admitted to the hospital for a heart attack or other signs that your heart muscle wasn't getting enough blood.
- You are not in cardiogenic shock (the heart can't pump enough blood) and do not have very unstable blood pressure.
- You do not have another serious heart condition that needs surgery within the next 2 years.
- You do not have a medical condition that would make it likely you live less than 2 years.

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.
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 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 trial tests two different blood-thinner plans for people who have had a tear in a heart artery (spontaneous coronary artery dissection, or SCAD) and are being treated without surgery. The goal is to find out if one approach is safer and works better for healing.
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.
