[Myocardial infarct with a normal coronary angiogram]

O Pachinger, P Probst, G Syre

    Acta Medica Austriaca
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    A massive heart attack occurred in a woman with normal coronary arteries, challenging typical diagnoses. This case highlights the importance of considering alternative mechanisms for myocardial infarction when arteries appear clear.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Myocardial infarction (MI) is typically associated with coronary artery disease.
    • Coronary arteriography is the gold standard for diagnosing obstructive coronary artery disease.

    Observation:

    • A case of massive transmural anterior wall myocardial infarction is presented.
    • The patient exhibited angiographically normal coronary arteries.

    Findings:

    • The study discusses potential mechanisms for myocardial infarction in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease.
    • This includes non-atherosclerotic causes or subtle abnormalities not detected by standard angiography.

    Implications:

    • Such cases present diagnostic challenges in cardiology.
    • Increased use of coronary arteriography may lead to more frequent identification of MI with normal coronary arteries.
    • Further research into alternative etiologies of myocardial infarction is warranted.
