Approximately 95% of SCAD cases (spontaneous coronary artery dissection) occur in women--even young women who do not have typical cardiovascular risk factors. Guests Eileen Handberg, PhD, ANP-BC, FAHA, FACC, FPCNA, and Maggie Teliska describe SCAD from both a clinical and patient standpoint: symptoms, diagnosis and misdiagnosis, treatments, advocating for yourself, and the importance of the SCAD registry in moving the science forward.
