Scientists hunt for genetic clues behind rare heart condition SCAD
NCT ID NCT03876847
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find genetic factors that increase the risk of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), a rare heart condition where a tear in a blood vessel can cause a heart attack. Researchers will analyze DNA from 100 people who have had SCAD and compare it to people without the condition. The goal is to better understand what causes SCAD and identify potential genetic markers.
