Recognizes MINOCA in fatal MI; leaves open prospective studies on mechanisms and management.

Structured PICO

Population

10 patients who died with a typical clinical picture of acute myocardial infarction within 25 days of onset of symptoms

Outcome

Coronary arterial system luminal reduction due to atherosclerosis or other causes

This postmortem study documents that fatal acute myocardial infarction can occur in the absence of significant coronary arterial obstruction, an early description of what is now known as MINOCA.
