May support CMR for MINOCA etiology; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Observational (n=207)
No
In patients with troponin-positive chest pain and unobstructed coronary arteries, CMR identified acute myocardial infarction in nearly one-third of cases, which was not predicted by clinical risk factors or peak troponin levels.
Bhatti et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Troponin-positive chest pain with unobstructed coronary arteries (n=207). Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) was evaluated on Rate of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) diagnosed by CMR. In patients with troponin-positive chest pain and unobstructed coronary arteries, cardiac magnetic resonance identified acute myocardial infarction in 29.5% of cases.
