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.

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a relatively rare and poorly understood
condition that has been reported to affect more women than men. The coronary arteries
consist of three layers, and dissection occurs when two of these layers separate, enabling
blood to flow into the space between the layers. As the blood accumulates, this can cause
obstruction to normal blood flow within the heart, leading to chest pain, heart attack and
even sudden death.
The medical community has much to learn about treatment and prevention of this potentially
fatal cardiovascular event. Mayo Clinic is conducting two new studies of SCAD. This study
consists of building a database/registry of patients with SCAD (whether they have been
patients at Mayo Clinic or not) to identify patterns of SCAD incidence, causes and
associations that could guide future research. With participant consent, Mayo Clinic staff
will request a copy of the original coronary angiogram when SCAD was diagnosed to confirm
the diagnosis and determine eligibility. If eligible, study coordinators will contact the
participant to provide more information about the studies and request a signed informed
consent document.
