Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection - SCAD Alliance

Special shout out to Christine @gvascstudy.bsky.social, who drove from Boston to Philly in the deep freeze and snow to present on #gVasc at SCAD Together and host a booth. She enrolled 11 SCAD patients during the event, complete with sample collection. #SCADheart

What an incredible day at the MGB SCAD symposium this past October 🎉

Co-hosted by Mass General Brigham Women's Heart Health Program and SCAD Alliance, we brought together 220+ participants from 10 states and 6 countries for a patient-centered symposium focused on SCAD diagnosis and management. 🌎💙

📍gVasc has enrolled 400 SCAD patients across 44 states! This broad representation contributes greatly to the diversity that is needed for studying SCAD ❤️ #SCAD #heartresearch #genetics #scadgenetics @scadalliance.bsky.social @markelindsay.bsky.social @pnatarajanmd.bsky.social

Happy to participate in Pittsburgh SCADaddle 5K for SCAD research. SCAD is the kind of heart attack that mostly affects healthy women >40 without traditional risk factors. Can be associated with peri or postpartum and commonly SCAD patients also suffer migraines @scadalliance.bsky.social
