Article Synopsis
- Despite progress in recognizing and diagnosing spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in the last decade, there is still limited understanding of its mechanisms, contributing factors, and effective treatments.
- The text highlights research gaps in SCAD and suggests strategies like patient advocacy, independent registries, and specialized centers to improve clinical care and research outcomes.
- Additionally, it presents a patient-centered clinical care and research framework developed by the SCAD Alliance and International SCAD registry as a model to enhance understanding and management of this condition.
Article Synopsis
- * Delays in diagnosing CVD represent a significant missed opportunity for timely interventions that could improve maternal health outcomes.
- * Implementing universal CVD risk assessments for all pregnant and postpartum patients and integrating validated tools into routine care can enhance awareness, promote early diagnosis, and ultimately reduce maternal deaths related to CVD.
Joint injury can lead to articular cartilage damage, excessive inflammation, and post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Collagen is an essential component for cartilage function, yet current literature has limited understanding of how biochemical and biomechanical factors contribute to collagen loss in injured cartilage. Our aim was to investigate spatially dependent changes in collagen content and collagen integrity of injured cartilage, with an explant model of early-stage PTOA.

Methods: Clinical data and headache variables were obtained from the baseline assessment of the prospective, multicenter iSCAD Registry.
Article Synopsis
- Myocardial infarction from spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) can lead to significant psychological issues, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), affecting many patients' quality of life.
- In a study involving 1,156 SCAD patients, nearly 35% had experienced probable PTSD at some point, but a significant portion had not sought treatment for their symptoms.
- Factors such as younger age at first SCAD, being single, and having a history of anxiety were linked to higher PTSD symptom severity, highlighting the need for better screening and treatment connections for affected individuals.
