Clinical Trials

Mayo Clinic offers numerous clinical trials about spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD).

Part of Mayo Clinic's commitment to its patients involves doing research that can help people live longer, healthier lives. Clinical trials are research studies that involve volunteer participants. They help healthcare professionals better understand, diagnose, treat and prevent many different diseases and conditions.

Some of Mayo Clinic's clinical trials related to SCAD include:

• Genetic studies of people with SCAD and their families.
• A virtual SCAD registry with information about participants' backgrounds and healthcare.
• Evaluation of when people get SCAD in relation to giving birth — also called peripartum occurrence.
• Imaging and ultrasound studies.

Mayo Clinic also has thousands of other active clinical trials and research studies, and it coordinates national clinical trials with other medical institutions.
