Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD): Any new info?

Posted by suzzles @suzzles, Nov 8, 2017

Is there a group that has information on new discoveries about SCAD?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart & Blood Health Support Group.

Newly diagnosed still having frequent angina pain first time to Mayo Clinic appt in June 23. Anyone have information of this heart condition and what my length of stay and treatments will I be expecting?
Thanks for your time.
Take care

Hi @aar9 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. So glad that you have an appointment on June 23rd. You will see that I moved your post to a discussion talking about SCAD. I did this so that you could connect with other members like @katofoz and @bosse. I would also encourage you to watch the 20 minute documentary about SCAD that Colleen posted above.

Did Mayo order any additional appointments or tests prior to your doctors visit on the 23rd?
