Scared to Death: Emotional Stress Causing Fatal Myocardial Infarction With Nonobstructed Coronary Arteries in Women.

ABSTRACT: Myocardial infarction with nonobstructed coronary arteries (MINOCA) can be triggered by intense emotions. We report 5 cases of emotional stress-related death where forensic examination attributed myocardial infarction to a coronary spasm, with the ultimate cause of death being arrhythmias in 4 cases and cardiac rupture in the fifth. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).
