Chicagoland SCADaddle 5K Walk & Run for Research

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a little known and poorly understood type of heart attack. SCAD is the #1 cause of heart attacks in women under age 50, pregnant women & new moms. Most patients are younger healthy women who do not have the typical risk factors of heart disease. Although less common, it can affect men too. Research is needed to identify the cause(s) and the best treatment options.

Your donation allows SCAD Research Inc to provide critical funding to the researchers who are leading the way in finding the causes and best courses of treatment for SCAD, as well as building awareness so that those who experience SCAD can be diagnosed earlier.
