Registry for Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to establish the first pan-European registry for spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), a condition that primarily affects young women without traditional heart disease risk factors. The registry will collect data from at least 500 prospectively recruited patients and 500 historical cases across approximately 30 countries and 120 sites. Patient data will be gathered at various time points, including the first SCAD event visit and yearly follow-ups for up to five years, to enhance understanding of SCAD management and inform clinical guidelines.
