[Myocardial Infarction with no obstructive coronary arteries: Imaging plays a central role].
La Revue de Médecine Interne 2023 December 30
Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary lesion (MINOCA) represents a non-negligible percentage of the proportion of myocardial infarctions (≈6%). Moreover, the long-term prognosis is poor, with an annual mortality rate of 2%. This high mortality rate may be explained by the fact that MINOCA represents a heterogeneous group, and the diagnosis of pathology is poorly understood. It is essential to be aware of this clinical presentation, and to follow the different diagnostic strategies, in order to identify the etiological mechanism, and thus set up a suitable treatment. Many tools are available to support diagnosis, notably in the fields of imaging, the principal contributors being coronary angiography, coronary physiology and pharmacological testing, as well as endo-coronary imaging and cardiac MRI. This review will provide an update on the definition, epidemiology, diagnostic strategies and treatment options for patients with MINOCA.
