SCAD is a serious, under-diagnosed heart condition that can cause heart attacks in otherwise healthy people, often with no warning and no known cause. Watch for more info: SCAD explained

Beat SCAD is a patient- and volunteer-led charity working to raise awareness, support those affected, and fund vital research to better understand and treat SCAD.

Thanks to incredible supporters, Beat SCAD has already funded groundbreaking research (see more: SCAD Research - Get involved with UK Study). We have provided funding for Clinical Research Fellows and other research activities, helping to uncover the causes of SCAD and improve patient outcomes.

We walked together to beat SCAD

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Walk Together event in Leicester on 20 June. You can read our News story and watch the videos on YouTube Walk & Research Update 2026

Although the walk event is over, our fundraising continues.

Our goal

We are raising £25,000 to help extend the current Clinical Research Fellow post into 2027, ensuring that vital research can continue.

Why it matters

SCAD cannot currently be predicted or prevented, but research is changing that.

Every pound raised helps:

• Fund life-saving research

• Improve diagnosis and treatment

• Support patients and families

Together, we are finding answers – and saving lives.
