Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week remote exercise program is feasible for women who have had a heart attack caused by spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). SCAD mainly affects otherwise healthy women, and standard cardiac rehab may not fit their needs. The study will measure recruitment, adherence, and acceptability through interviews and activity monitors.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: remote exercise program
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that a tailored, home-based exercise program is a safe and practical way to help women recover after a SCAD heart attack.
What could go wrong: This is a small feasibility study, not a large trial. It may not prove the program improves health outcomes, and results may not apply to all SCAD patients.
