Here are the September 2023 research findings from the Mayo Clinic SCAD (Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection) Research Program presented by Dr. Patricia Best, an interventional cardiologist and researcher at Mayo Clinic SCAD Research Program in Rochester, Minnesota. This was recorded on Friday, September 8th, at the SCAD Social & Dinner at the Marina Village Conference Center in San Diego, California. The presentation itself starts at 2:47.
Like in previous years, this event was held the night before the Annual West Coast 5K SCADaddle for Research on Saturday September 9th, 2023.
Many healthcare providers do not recognize chest pain in women as a SCAD (Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection) heart attack. It is misdiagnosed as anxiety attack, gastritis, and takotsubo (broken heart) syndrome. Please share this video with any woman who has had chest pain whose cause has been attributed to stress, panic attack or some other non-specific cause.
At www.scadresearch.org/about/ are links to three flyers, one for patients, one for emergency room personnel, and one for EMTs. Consider sharing them with any healthcare professionals or emergency responders you know.
