ABSTRACT

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is defined as an acute myocardial infarction without angiographically obstructive coronary artery disease or stenosis ≤ 50%. It is a complex and challenging entity since for adequate management it is not enough just arrive at the diagnosis, but one must also try to identify the underlying etiology. This article aims to review the different current diagnostic modalities and discuss the existing evidence for the specific treatment of some of the most prevalent etiologies.

Key words: MINOCA; cardiac magnetic resonance.
