This week is SCAD Heart Attack Awareness Week. SCAD – spontaneous coronary artery dissection – is a tear in the artery wall, which can cause a heart attack or cardiac arrest. SCAD is responsible for up to a third of heart attacks in women under 50 and nearly half of heart attacks during pregnancy. It often strikes young, otherwise healthy women like Sarah, an international athlete and mum of five kids. Sarah shares how a SCAD heart attack changed the way she lives her life. | Heart Foundation NZ
