Why the study?
MINOCA requires prompt mechanistic clarification, and early integration of CCTA and CMR may refine diagnosis during the acute phase.
Does an early multimodal imaging approach combining CCTA and CMR improve diagnostic accuracy and mechanistic clarification in patients with presumed MINOCA?

May support acute CCTA-CMR integration for MINOCA diagnosis; leaves open need for larger prospective validation.
Does an early multimodal imaging approach combining CCTA and CMR improve diagnostic accuracy and mechanistic clarification in patients with presumed MINOCA?
An early combined CCTA and CMR imaging protocol effectively distinguishes ischemic from non-ischemic etiologies and identifies high-risk plaques in patients with presumed MINOCA.
