Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) diagnosis and management in a private healthcare setting - A single centre retrospective data analysis.

Abstract

Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is a heterogeneous term encompassing patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMIs) who do not have sufficiently obstructed coronary arteries to compromise yocardial blood flow (Fig.1). MINOCA incidence varies in literature from 1-15% of all AMIs referred for coronary angiography [1-3], but remains largely uncharacterised, and thus under-diagnosed and under-managed in Australia.
