Beta-blockers and blood thinners after SCAD
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether taking a beta-blocker and an antiplatelet (blood thinner) helps people recover after spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). It randomizes participants to treatment combinations, aiming to see which approach works best after an event affecting heart blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with SCAD using a heart artery scan (angiography).
- You were admitted to the hospital because of an acute coronary syndrome or other signs of reduced blood flow to the heart.
- You can give informed consent to join the study.
- You do NOT have cardiogenic shock or very unstable heart function right now.
- You do NOT have another severe heart problem that needs surgery within the next 2 years.
- You are not expected to have less than 2 years to live due to another serious medical condition.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 tests whether a personalized exercise and support program can help women recover better after a spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). If you are a woman with SCAD and stable heart function, this program may improve your strength, confidence, and quality of life.
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 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 is a national Swiss registry that collects information about people who have been newly diagnosed with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) or diagnosed within the last 5 years. Your participation can help doctors better understand SCAD and improve future care.
