Angiogram No obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease Cannot exclude non-ACS causes of troponin elevation including coronary vasospasm, stress cardiomyopathy, microvascular disease, etc. The degree of stenosis is not a great predictor of thrombosis, and culprits may not be visible.

Hospital Course The patient was taken emergently to the cath lab which did not reveal any significant coronary artery disease, but she was noted to have reduced EF consistent with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Such cases are classified as MINOCA (Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructed Coronary Arteries).
