SCAD-Update on Diagnosis and Treatment
Guest: Sharonne N. Hayes, M.D. (@SharonneHayes)
Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky)
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) was traditionally understood to be a rare syndrome that only happened to women who were pregnant or early postpartum and was almost universally fatal. That understanding has changed as research has become more focused on heart disease in women.
Joining us today to discuss current SCAD diagnosis and treatment is Sharonne N. Hayes, M.D., a preventive cardiologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Specific topics discussed:
- Evolution of the understanding of SCAD
- SCAD defined
- Differentiation of SCAD from other acute coronary syndromes
- Diagnosis and treatment
- Impact of statins
- Family screening
- Lifestyle modifications
