Prognostic implication of coronary slow flow assessed by cTFC in patients with myocardial infarction with Non-obstructive coronary arteries
2023, European Journal of Internal MedicineCitation Excerpt :Interestingly, we found no differences in the extent of coronary stenosis or the severity of myocardial injury between MINOCA patients with CSF and those with normal coronary flow, suggesting that CSF is per se independently associated with a higher risk of MACE in MINOCA patients rather than a marker of illness severity. The association between the presence of CSF and worse clinical outcomes for MINOCA patients may, therefore, partly be due to the etiopathogenesis of CSF, which includes microvascular dysfunction contributing to myocardial ischemia and acute coronary syndrome [27,36,37,42]. Altogether, the present study's findings may have a significant clinical implication since a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms may allow the clinician to risk-stratify the MINOCA patients, identify appropriate therapy, and improve the survival rate of this patient group.
