Background In myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), there are limited patient-level data on outcomes by sex and race. Methods Patients admitted to a single center with acute myocardial infarction (MI) between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2018, were identified by chart and angiographic review.

Only 5-18% of ED patients with chest pain have a myocardial infarction of any kind. Electrocardiol 45:433-442, 2012 ). Could this be a coincidence that the patient was experiencing chest pain and upon ECG capture the atypical brugada pattern was found? Answer : History is insensitive and nonspecific. It helps a little bit.
