Global SCAD registry launches to prevent recurrence of rare heart attacks
NCT ID NCT04496687
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This international registry is collecting information from 2000 people who have had spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), a rare cause of heart attacks. Researchers will track participants' health over time to better understand the condition and develop best practices for prevention. The study is observational, meaning no new treatments are being tested.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could lead to better guidelines for preventing SCAD and its recurrence.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test any therapy. Results depend on data quality and may take years to influence practice.
