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.
