Abstract
Myocardial Infarction with non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) is the final diagnosis in 6-10% of all acute coronary syndromes (ACS). It is mostly present in female individuals. MINOCA was defined by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in 2017, and the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (2018) further reinforced this concept. , Dreyer et al., analyzing Medicare data in the United States, determined an incidence for MINOCA of 5.9%. Lower rates of one-year MACE (1.7% vs 27.6%), mortality (12.3% vs [...]

Myocardial Infarction with non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) was defined by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in 2017, and the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (2018) further reinforced this concept.[1,2]
Lower rates of one-year MACE (1.7% vs 27.6%), mortality (12.3% vs 16.7%) and re-hospitalization for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) (1.3% vs 6.1%) were observed in MINOCA compared with ACS with coronary obstruction
