    My SCAD took place five years ago, at age 59. I had every classic heart attack symptom. In the ambulance, to the second hospital, two hours away, I had a Cardiac Arrest. I was revived, and sent to the Cath Lab immediately. I had a Balloon Angioplasty, and placed in IV Heparin for several days. While in the hospital, I had various tests, that showed Fibromuscular Dysplasia, which they believe caused my SCAD. I had sudden onset very high hypertension in my late thirties, which could never be attributed to anything. I have FMD in my Renal Arteries, Internal Carotids, and Iliac Arteries. I currently have a small aneurysm in my brain, and a dissection in my Iliac Artery. The SCAD caused AMI left me with damage to my heart, and heart failure. Every time I get Angina pains, I fear this being another SCAD. For me, it is the negative gift that keeps giving. Thanks for sharing your story.

    So many of these videos were posted 3 years ago. I'm wondering if physicians have more awareness of SCAD now?
