Age Variation in Patients with Troponin Level Elevation Without Obstructive Culprit Lesion or Suspected Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries-Long-Term Data Covering over Decade.

Troponin level elevation without an obstructive culprit lesion is caused by heterogenous entities. The effect of aging on this condition has been poorly investigated. After screening 24,775 patients between 2010 and 2021, this study included a total of 373 patients with elevated troponin levels without an obstructive culprit lesion or suspected myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCAs) categorized into four age groups containing 78 patients (<51 years), 72 patients (51-60 years), 81 patients (61-70 years), and 142 patients (>70 years).

The Impact of Body Mass Index on the Mortality of Myocardial Infarction Patients With Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries.

Objectives: Myocardial infarction without significant stenosis or occlusion of the coronary arteries carries a high risk of recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events and poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between body mass index and outcomes in patients with a suspected myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA).

Methods: Patients were recruited at Bergmannsheil University Hospital from January 2010 to April 2021.

Prognostic Implications of Coronary Artery Sclerosis in Troponin-Positive Patients with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries.

Introduction: Coronary sclerosis is a risk factor for the progression to obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). However, understanding its impact on the outcomes of patients with myocardial infarction and non-obstructive coronary arteries is limited. This study aimed to explore the prognostic influence of coronary sclerosis on in- and out-of-hospital events in troponin-positive patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries.

Ejection Fraction-Related Differences of Baseline Characteristics and Outcomes in Troponin-Positive Patients without Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease.

The development and course of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary artery (MINOCA) disease is still not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to examine the baseline characteristics of in-hospital outcomes and long-term outcomes of a cohort of troponin-positive patients without obstructive coronary artery disease based on different left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEFs). We included a cohort of 254 patients (mean age: 64 (50.

The impact of diabetes mellitus on the outcome of troponin-positive patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a major cardiovascular risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease, but knowledge about the impact of diabetes mellitus on the outcome of patients with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of diabetes mellitus on in- and out-of-hospital adverse events in troponin-positive patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries.

Methods And Results: A total of 373 troponin-positive patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries between 2010 and 2021 at Bergmannsheil University Hospital Bochum were enrolled, including 65 diabetics and 307 nondiabetics.
