You're not alone. Resources and support groups are available for you.
SCAD is a challenging diagnosis and you've done nothing to cause it. Empowering yourself with knowledge is key to living a healthy and hopeful life. We're a growing network of fellow Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection survivors, researchers, and clinicians devoted to the mission of supporting you, your family and your health care team.
