INOCA, or ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries, affects a large proportion of patients undergoing angiography who do not have obstructive coronary artery disease. INOCA can result from heterogeneous mechanisms like coronary vasospasm and microvascular dysfunction and is not benign, as it is associated with increased cardiovascular events and impaired quality of life. The diagnosis of MINOCA, a type of INOCA, requires meeting criteria for an acute myocardial infarction but having non-obstructive arteries on angiography and no other clear cause identified. Further evaluation is then needed to determine the underlying cause of MINOCA.
