Why the study?
Non-obstructive coronary artery disease occurs in 3.5–15% of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and confers a poor prognosis, making the identification of factors predicting worse outcomes in MINOCA important.
Population
110 patients with MINOCA
Design
Single-center retrospective registry
Follow-up
12, 24 and 36 months after discharge

Identified predictors in this small retrospective cohort may signal higher risk; leaves open whether they guide targeted interventions in MINOCA.
In patients with MINOCA, older age, type 2 diabetes, specific ECG abnormalities, higher Gensini score, myocardial hypertrophy, and history of neoplasm are significant predictors of adverse long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
