Health-related quality-of-life up to one year after myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Patients with Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) are a heterogenous group and previous studies indicate a decreased Health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) compared with patients with myocardial infarction with obstructive coronary artery disease and healthy individuals. However, longitudinal data are scarce. Therefore, the aim was to explore HRQoL among patients with MINOCA during a one-year period after the acute event in comparison with a group of healthy individuals and to describe HRQoL in patients with Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS).

Methods and results

Patients with MINOCA were recruited from five hospitals in the Stockholm region (SMINC-2 study, clinical trials: NCT2318498). Patients responded to the HRQoL questionnaire RAND-36 betwee
