Dr. Sharonne Hayes, a leading expert in sex- and gender-based cardiovascular care, and Dr. Marysia Tweet, co-leader of the SCAD Registry, discuss the often-missed diagnosis of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD). They highlight how SCAD can occur in healthy, active young people and describe its complex presentation, including atypical chest pain and low initial troponin levels.
