Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD). The Condition We Often Miss

In this episode, we bring together a remarkable group of guests to discuss an often overlooked but incredibly important condition, Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD). Joining us today are a SCAD survivor, the clinician who treated her, and an advocate working to raise awareness and improve patient outcomes. Together, they share their powerful and unique perspectives on what SCAD is, how it presents, and the challenges faced in recognising it, particularly in the pre-hospital environment, where diagnostic overshadowing can easily occur. We explore why SCAD is sometimes missed, how it differs from other cardiac events, and what clinicians can do to better support patients who may be experiencing it. Most importantly, we hear the real lived experience of surviving SCAD, the uncertainty, recovery, and the crucial role of awareness and advocacy in improving care pathways. This conversation is both educational and deeply human, offering vital insights for pre-hospital professionals, clinicians, and anyone interested in improving outcomes for patients with this rare and often misunderstood condition. Tune in to hear their stories, their expertise, and how we can all play a part in recognising and responding to SCAD more effectively.
