Recognize Key Meds for Patients With MINOCA

You’ll start to hear about myocardial infarction with NO obstructive coronary atherosclerosis (MINOCA).

Up to 15% of heart attacks may be due to MINOCA. These are patients with typical heart attack symptoms...but who have less than 50% blockage of major heart vessels.

Explain that it’s more common in younger patients...and up to 5 times more likely in women. Increased diabetes and obesity in young people might explain the rising rates of CV disease.
