This confirms that the pain was ischemia and is now resovled. Thus, angiography may be fairly accurate in determining lumen size, but it will not detect the “volume” of atherosclerosis present. The cardiology fellow agreed with plan for emergent cath and escorted the patient to the cath lab. The i nitial hs troponin I returned 75%.

This suggests further severe ischemia. MINOCA may be due to: coronary spasm, coronary microvascular dysfunction, plaque disruption, spontaneous coronary thrombosis/emboli , and coronary dissection; myocardial disorders, including myocarditis, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and other cardiomyopathies. And yet the arteries remain open.
