Why the study?
The prognosis and predictors of mortality in patients with MINOCA remain unclear.
Does MINOCA have a different prognosis compared to myocardial infarction with obstructive coronary artery disease?
Population
396 MINOCA and 10 871 MI with obstructive CAD patients undergoing coronary angiography
Comparison
MINOCA vs myocardial infarction with obstructive coronary artery disease
Design
Nation-wide multicenter prospective registry
Follow-up
2 years

MINOCA carries similar 2-year mortality risk as obstructive MI; leaves open whether targeted therapies improve outcomes in this observational cohort.
Does MINOCA have a different prognosis compared to myocardial infarction with obstructive coronary artery disease?
Patients with MINOCA have comparable 2-year all-cause mortality to those with obstructive CAD, and the use of RAS blockers and statins is associated with lower mortality in MINOCA.
