Key result
Cardiac MRI confirmed an apical transmural myocardial infarction in a 27-year-old man with STEMI-mimicking symptoms and non-obstructive coronary arteries, guiding appropriate medical management.
Why the study?
ACS in young adults with non-obstructive coronary arteries presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, requiring careful differentiation from other ischemic and non-ischemic causes.
Population
A 27-year-old Moroccan man with high cardiovascular risk presenting with persistent chest pain and ST-segment elevation

MINOCA case in young adult underscores diagnostic challenges; leaves open etiology-specific management strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case highlights the diagnostic importance of early cardiac MRI in young patients with STEMI-mimicking presentations and normal coronary angiography to confirm MINOCA and guide appropriate therapy.
Soussi et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Myocardial Infarction With Non-obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) (n=1). Cardiac MRI and medical management was evaluated. Cardiac MRI confirmed an apical transmural myocardial infarction in a 27-year-old man with STEMI-mimicking symptoms and non-obstructive coronary arteries, guiding appropriate medical management.
