Mayo clinic investigates Nerve-Artery link in rare heart condition SCAD
NCT ID NCT05699200
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study at Mayo Clinic compares 50 people who have had SCAD (a tear in a heart artery) with healthy volunteers. Researchers measure artery stiffness, thickness, and how the 'fight or flight' nervous system responds to stress. The goal is to understand what might cause SCAD, not to test a treatment.
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 this study finds clear differences in artery or nerve function, it could point toward new ways to predict or prevent SCAD.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study (50 people) that measures body signals, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct medical changes.
