Non-obstructive coronary artery disease occurs in 3.5–15% of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction. This group of patients has a poor prognosis. Identification of factors that predict worse outcomes in myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is therefore important. Patients with a diagnosis of MINOCA (n = 110) were enrolled in this single-center, retrospective registry. Follow-up was performed 12, 24 and 36 months after discharge. The primary composite endpoint was defined as myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, stroke or TIA, all-cause death, or hospital readmission due to any cardiovascular event. The mean age of the study group was 64.9 (± 13.5) years and 38.2% of patients were male. The occurrence of the primary composite endpoint was 36.4%. In a COX proportional hazards model analysis, older age (p = 0.027), type 2 diabetes (p = 0.013), history of neoplasm (p = 0.004), ST-segment depression (p = 0.018) and left bundle branch block/right bundle branch block (p = 0.004) by ECG on discharge, higher Gensini score (p = 0.022), higher intraventricular septum (p = 0.007) and posterior wall thickness increases (p = 0.001) were shown to be risk factors for primary composite endpoint occurrence. Our study revealed that several factors such as older age, type 2 diabetes, ST-segment depression and LBBB/RBBB in ECG on discharge, higher Gensini score, and myocardial hypertrophy and history of neoplasm may contribute to worse clinical outcomes in MINOCA patients. |
