    This study observed young patients with myocardial infarctions and clear coronary arteries. Etiology remains unclear, but oxygen supply/demand imbalance and vessel spasms are potential factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pathophysiology

    Context:

    • Observational study of 6 patients (18-44 years) diagnosed with myocardial infarction (MI) since 1972.
    • Coronary angiography revealed inconspicuous coronary systems in all observed patients.
    • Diagnosis confirmed via medical history, lab tests, ECG, and scintigraphy.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate myocardial infarctions in patients with normal coronary arteries.
    • To explore potential etiologies and pathogenetic mechanisms.
    • To discuss prognostic and therapeutic implications.

    Summary:

    • Patients presented with atypical MI symptoms, including juvenile age, minimal angina history, few risk factors, and frequent arrhythmias.
    • Differential diagnosis excluded other cardiac and extracardiac causes of infarction-like ECG changes.

  • Etiologic clarification remains challenging, suggesting a polyetiologic process.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of considering oxygen supply-demand imbalance in MI pathogenesis.
    • Suggests vasospasm (large and small vessels) and small vessel disease as key factors.
    • Underscores the need for further research into less common MI causes and their management.
