Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This is a Canadian registry study that tracks patients who were admitted to hospital with a heart attack caused by Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) — a rare and often misunderstood condition where a tear forms in a coronary artery wall (not caused by cholesterol buildup). The registry collects information to improve understanding, outcomes, and treatment of SCAD. You may be eligible if: - You are 18 or older - You were admitted to hospital with an acute coronary syndrome (heart attack or unstable angina) - A coronary angiogram confirmed SCAD as the cause (with or without OCT/IVUS confirmation) You may NOT be eligible if: - Your SCAD is attributed to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (blockage with plaque of 50% or more) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
