Voices of SCAD: Amy

Why am I having chest pain? I'm a young woman with no risk factors?
-- Typical SCAD patient.
Amy's first heart attack was treated but not recognized as a SCAD (Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection) heart attack. In this video she describes what happened next and the possible consequences of that missed opportunity. To improve awareness, please share this video with any woman you know who has had chest pain whose cause has not been specifically identified.
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.

    Seeing this and other similar SCAD stories on youtube prompted me to print off information about this condition and take it to my local EMS station so they could be more aware of it. The info was well received, I'm grateful to say.

    I had a SCAD in the summer and also thought it was a panic attack. Then the following Thanksgiving I experienced a stroke. It has been a rough time recently, but still so much to be grateful for. Finding your own place for recovery is real. I agree with so much of what you said. Thank you.

    Thank you for sharing your story. Hope you are doing ok. I was admitted to hospital a few weeks ago (8 weeks postpartum after birth of my son) for chest pain and they found elevated troponin. They suspected scad however the angiogram was inconclusive... Im waiting on mri results. I also really felt like it was similar chest pain and pressure to a bad panic attack, like you!

    It sounds like poor Amy’s case was very poorly managed by the medical profession. My SCAD was only a few weeks ago, I’m yet to start the rehab with 80 year olds (!), and I too feel like I, and my husband also, have PTSD to work through. It sounds like Amy is doing okay now, but it’s a shame she was left with all that iatrogenic damage, both physical and mental. Xx

    I hear the fear and sadness in her voice.💔 I totally understand her anger as well. She is so young and yet her life is changed forever. She should be totally enjoying her life and experiencing the joy raising her children. But she has this dark threatening cloud hanging over her. Glad she sought out mental and emotional help. Good on her for being her own advocate for her health and going to the Mayo clinic!! I have heart issues with Afib and some blockage. But I am old enough to be Amy's mother. I had never heard of SCAD before. It seems like it must be determined by genetics?🤔 This is something for doctors to truly educate themselves about. Not understanding what's going on and sending somebody home is bound to result in unnecessary heart damage and death!!!

    I agree, sounds like this was poorly managed . They sat on her way too long because she was female and young.

    Of the Amy presentation I was wondering: was the triple bypass or any bypass unnecessary?

    I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......just like depicted in this video a heart attack is some very scary pain!!!!however folks if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place that is even far worse than any heart attack or any painful experience you might have on this earth called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! It is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!
