Rebecca and Angharad Lewis are urging greater awareness of a heart condition which can be fatal.
Two sisters who had heart attacks just days apart have said more should be done to raise awareness of a condition that can be fatal.
Rebecca, a teacher from Cardiff, was marking work in her classroom last November when she felt huge pressure on her chest. The morning after visiting her in hospital, Rebecca's sister Angharad also had a heart attack. An angiogram suggested she too had suffered a SCAD. "We try to encourage our colleagues across the health services, who will be potentially seeing patients who might have SCAD, to think of it. Because if you're not thinking of it, then you may miss it," he said.
