Official title
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) National Swiss Registry (SwissSCAD)
Overview
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), is an underdiagnosed pathology, affecting predominantly young women without traditional cardiovascular risk factors and is associated with major adverse outcomes including myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, or death. Timely diagnosis of SCAD as well as clinical follow-up are of the essence in this pathology associated with major cardiac adverse outcomes. Despite recent improvements in diagnosis and recognition of the importance of SCAD, it remains poorly studied and understood. In this context, we designed the SwissSCAD registry, a large, observational, prospective, cohort study, to describe the natural history of SCAD, its outcomes and its treatments.
Primary outcome measures
- Incidence of safety events at 30 days [Time frame: 30 days]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Incidence of safety events at 1 year [Time frame: 1 year]
- Incidence of safety events at 5 years [Time frame: 5 years]
Eligibility criteria
