Kelley Miller knew something was wrong when she woke up with heavy pressure on her chest. Thinking it was indigestion, she took some medication. But it wasn’t until she started experiencing nausea along with intense pain across her body that she drove to our ER, suspecting a heart attack. Doctors confirmed her suspicion, and she was transferred to our CHRISTUS Highland Cath Lab, where, along with her nurses, she believed she would receive the best care. Upon arrival, Kelley was met by an exceptional care team, including Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Paul Davis and Cardiothoracic Surgeon Dr. Timothy Danish.

A heart catheterization revealed that Kelley’s heart attack was not the result of coronary artery disease— plaque buildup that contributes to 75 percent of cardiac events in men and 47 percent in women. Instead, Kelley was diagnosed with spontaneous coronary artery dissection, or "SCAD," a rare but serious condition that occurs when a tear develops in the coronary artery wall. Often misdiagnosed as a typical heart attack, SCAD is nearly six times more common in women and can lead to unnecessary stents.

Because her dissected artery would heal on its own, Kelley did not require a stent, and after spending several days in the hospital to have her troponin levels monitored, she returned home. Today, she’s grateful to our entire staff and the exemplary care she received, giving special thanks to nurses Dana, Debra, Macy, Lyndsey, Sarah, and Mikayla. She reminds others that not all heart attacks are caused by traditional factors and urges others not to delay in getting checked out if they suspect they may be having one.

The end of Daylight-Saving Time can disrupt your sleep, mood, and even your heart health. Interventional Pulmonologist Dr. Suman Sinha recommends at least 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night. According to Dr. Sinha, the return to standard time aligns better with our natural circadian rhythms, allowing us to fall asleep earlier and wake up feeling more refreshed because it better aligns with the solar clocks. Other good sleep hygiene practices include avoiding screens at least two hours before bed, relaxing your mind, keeping your room cool, dark, and quiet, and sticking to a consistent sleep and wake schedule.
