Coronary plaque burden, as determined by cardiac computed tomography, in patients with myocardial infarction and angiographically normal coronary arteries compared to healthy volunteers: a prospective multicenter observational study.
OBJECTIVES: Patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and angiographically normal coronary arteries (MINCA) represent a diagnostic and a therapeutic challenge. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) allows detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) even in the absence of significant stenosis. W...
