San Diego 5K SCADaddle for Research

OUR CAUSE

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a little-known and poorly understood cause of a heart attack. Most patients are young, healthy, and active women who do not have the typical risk factors of heart disease. Although less common, it can affect men too. SCAD can reoccur and can be fatal. Research is needed to identify the cause(s) and the best treatment options.

• Fact: SCAD is the #1 cause of heart attacks in women under age 50.
• Impacted Groups: This condition affects pregnant women & new moms.
