What is Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD)?
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a rare but serious condition where a tear forms in one of the coronary arteries, leading to a partial or complete blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle. This can result in a heart attack, arrhythmias, or sudden cardiac death. SCAD is a distinct clinical entity that is different from atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
