Purpose Of Review:
Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) represents about 6-8% of all patients with myocardial infarction (MI), and several pathophysiological mechanisms showed to be involved in this heterogeneous clinical condition. Of note, MINOCA proved to be associated with a significant risk of mortality, angina burden and socioeconomic costs.
Recent Findings:
Results from randomized clinical trials evaluating the clinical effectiveness of a comprehensive diagnostic algorithm, along with the acute and long-term management of patients with MINOCA, are pending.
Summary:
In this review article, we aim at providing an overview of the clinical features, diagnostic work-up and the therapeutic management of patients presenting with MINOCA, highlighting the recent acquisition along with the remaining important knowledge gaps in this field.
