SCAD (Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection) is a rare, life-threatening heart condition. It occurs when a tear forms in a heart blood vessel, potentially leading to a heart attack or sudden death. Unlike typical heart attacks, SCAD often affects individuals with no known risk factors. The average age of those affected is just 42, and 80% of sufferers are women.
