Key result
Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has an average prevalence of 6% and requires individualized diagnostic algorithms to identify the specific underlying etiology and guide targeted therapy.
Why the study?
MINOCA has a heterogeneity of etiologic factors, prompting extensive study of its mechanisms, diagnostic algorithms, and therapeutic strategies.
MINOCA is a complex, heterogeneous condition that requires comprehensive diagnostic evaluation (including intracoronary imaging and cardiac MRI) to identify the underlying cause and guide targeted therapy.
Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) involves clinical documentation of an AMI and demonstration of the absence of anatomically significant stenosis (<50% of lumen diameter) on coronary angiography. As it has a heterogeneity of etiologic factors, the mechanisms of MINOCA as well as the performance of diagnostic algorithms and therapeutic strategies have been extensively studied. The importance of personal management strategy for each patient is presented alongside stratification of risks of recurrent cardiovascular events. This statement provides a general view on MINOCA based on the newest published data.
