Long-term outcome of patients with NSTEMI and nonobstructive coronary arteries by different angiographic subtypes

2021

Discordant data have been reported on the prognosis of myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). Moreover, few data are available on the impact of angiographic subtypes. The objectives of this study were to assess the prognostic impact on the long-term follow-up of the diagnosis of MINOCA and its angiographic subtypes.We included 591 consecutive patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who underwent coronary angiography. MINOCA was classified according to angiographic findings as smooth coronary arteries, mild irregularities (30% stenosis), and moderate atherosclerosis (30%-49% stenosis). The primary endpoint was a composite of mortal…
