Abstract
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare, non-atherosclerotic cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that predominantly affects young women without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. There is no definitive evidence on the optimal management of SCAD, and the general approach is conservative. In contrast to the well-established evidence-based rehabilitation programmes for atherosclerotic ACS and heart failure, no standardized cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) protocol currently exists for SCAD. The READAPT-DISCO study is a retrospective observational sub-study of the French DISCO trial, which included data from 373 patients with confirmed SCAD aged >18 years between 2016 and 2018. Detailed information on CR modalities and their potential benefits for patients with SCAD was collected, alongside an evaluation of safety outcomes. Key findings
