Genetic Investigations in Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD)
Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Enrollment
2,000 participants
Start Date
May 1, 2011
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of the research is to identify mutations (defects in the genetic blueprint) that cause spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), in other words, spontaneous tears in blood vessels that supply the heart. Some mutations may be inherited (passed on) from a parent without an apparent blood vessel problem while others may develop for the first time in the affected person.

- Men and women able to give informed consent and complete a 2 page questionnaire
- Diagnosis of one or more episodes of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD)
- Biological parent of individual with SCAD
- Relative with fibromuscular dysplasia, arterial aneurysm, or arterial dissection
Exclusion Criteria1
