Zoe had a SCAD and cardiac arrest while having dinner with friends. She’d given birth to her daughter a few weeks before and there was no warning that there might be a problem with her heart. “SCAD can happen to anyone and can present in many different ways,” Zoe tells us. She adds: “Don’t always assume that symptoms like pain in the arm or chest are automatically going to be down to breastfeeding or that tiredness is automatically down to having a baby… it could be something else.”

She tells her story in this video.
