Sometimes a heart attack is not just a heart attack, but the result of spontaneous tearing in the coronary artery wall. The artery wall has three layers and when a tear occurs, blood is able to pass through the innermost layer and become trapped and bulge inward.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon occurrence, but because it occurs spontaneously, it’s important to recognize the symptoms and get treatment immediately. Dr. Naesha Parks began her journey with SCAD in 2008, just ten days after giving birth to her son. Her doctors discovered that she had a coronary artery dissection which required open heart surgery.

Responding to evidence in the report, ASA’s sister body, the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP), will develop new ad standards to address these gender stereotypes. ‘Depictions, Perceptions and Harm’ found that gender stereotyping in ads can restrict the choices, aspirations and opportunities of children, young people and adults, as well as playing a part in the economic and social effects of unequal gender outcomes.
