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. A prospective sub-study of echocardiographic findings after SCAD that includes perfusion imaging (Lumason contrast) is available to patients who are evaluated at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. A separate consent process is included as part of this sub-study.
