Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) : indications for additional investigations and treatment

Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has multiple potential underlying causes which can be subdivided into coronary, myocardial and non-cardiac disorders. On the basis of three case descriptions, we show that additional investigations are crucial in determining the underlying mechanism and starting suitable treatment. Depending on clinical presentation, risk factors and medical history, an LV angiogram, a provocation test with intracoronary acetylcholine and a cardiac MRI can contribute to finding the correct diagnosis. We further present a diagnostic algorithm to guide the clinician in the management of patients presenting with MINOCA.
