A narrative review of electrocardiogram manifestation of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA).

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) represents a unique subset of acute coronary syndromes where significant coronary artery obstruction is absent. Despite its clinical relevance, the role of electrocardiogram (ECG) in the diagnosis of MINOCA remains underexplored, with no specific guidelines established. This review examines the current literature to elucidate potential diagnostic markers and guide clinical management.
