Acute myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries.
IN THE DIAGNOSIS of myocardial infarction, selective coronary arteriography almost invariably demonstrates evidence of occlusive atherosclerosis. There have, however, been reports of cases where technically excellent coronary arteriograms have shown normal vessels and a variety of causes other than atherosclerosis have been incriminated.1-4 This problem has not been resolved but some evidence n...

متن کاملMyocardial infarction with angiographically normal coronary arteries.
Myocardial Infarction with Normal Coronary Arteries (MINCA) is an important subgroup of myocardial infarction with a frequency of at least 3-4% of all myocardial infarctions. The interest and awareness of MINCA have increased recently due to the frequent use of coronary angiography, the description of Takotsubo stress cardiomyopathy and new sensitive troponin assays. Since myocarditis may mimic...
متن کاملCoronary Arteries and Coronary Blood Flow
T ransthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography can be used to detect impaired global and regional function of the left and right ventricles, two indirect signs of coronary artery disease. Coronary artery visualization was first reported in 19761 and was further improved by use of tissue differentiation2 and digital imaging techniques with high frequency annular array transducers.3 By use not o...
متن کاملCoronary arteries in fatal acute myocardial infarction.
The coronary arteries are diffusely involved by atherosclerotic plaques in fatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The degree of luminal narrowing may vary but plaques are present in practically every millimeter of extramural coronary artery. Usually the lumens of at least two of the three major coronary arteries are narrowed >75% by old plaques in patients who die suddenly (<6 hours) from car...
