Study of SCAD after a heart attack or unstable chest pain
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were admitted to the hospital for a recent ACS event like STEMI, NSTEMI, or unstable angina
- Your doctors diagnosed SCAD using a coronary angiogram, and possibly OCT or IVUS
- Your SCAD diagnosis is not mainly caused by blocked arteries from plaque (atherosclerosis)
- If there is plaque-related narrowing, it must be less than 50% (not 50% or more)

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 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 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 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 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.
