HFpEF and Microvascular Dysfunction after SCAD

Posted by sunflower843 @sunflower843, 14 hours ago

Anyone else out there get diagnosed with HFpEF and CMD after having a SCAD? Meds are helping some, but still a little scary at times.

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

Hello @sunflower843 and welcome to Mayo Connect. It sounds like you have been dealing with some difficult medical issues. I can understand that this is scary, and I also understand that you would want to connect with others who have had similar experiences.

I would like to invite other members who had discussed SCAD to this discussion, including @bensmom1 and @ngl. You can read more posts about others like this in the following discussion group,

Perhaps it would be helpful to provide a bit more background on these issues. For example, how long ago was SCAD diagnosed.? What treatment, other than medications have been suggested or tried?
