The Impact of Body Mass Index on the Mortality of Myocardial Infarction Patients With Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Myocardial infarction without significant stenosis or occlusion of the coronary arteries carries a high risk of recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events and poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between body mass index and outcomes in patients with a suspected myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA).

Methods

Patients were recruited at Bergmannsheil University Hospital from January 2010 to April 2021. The primary outcomes were in-hospital and long-term mortality. Secondary outcomes consisted of adverse events during hospitalization and during follow-up.

Results

A total of 373 patients were included in the study, with a mean follow-up time of 6.2 years. The patients were divided into different
