Not just clogged arteries: Mayo Clinic study reveals hidden causes of heart attacks in younger women
A Mayo Clinic study reveals that heart attacks in younger adults, particularly women, often stem from causes beyond clogged arteries. While plaque buildup is a factor, conditions like spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and stress-related triggers such as infections play significant roles. Accurate diagnosis is crucial, as misdiagnosis can lead to harmful treatments.
