Acute Coronary Syndrome With Normal Coronary Arteries: a Case of Spontaneous Spasm Lysis.

Introduction: Patients suffering from Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) are found with no obstructive coronary artery disease on coronary arteriography. The Aim of this interesting case report is to present a patient with acute chest pain, temporal ST-segment elevation and MINOCA.

Case Report: A case of a young woman who presented with acute chest pain suggestive of angina, with temporal ST-segment elevation, accidentally recorded and not rising of myocardial necrosis biomarkers in blood tests is described. A coronary angiography via right radial artery was performed and revealed normal coronary arteries. She was defined suffering from Myocardial infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) which occurs in 1-14% of Myocardial Infarction cases. Treatment with nitrates calcium, calcium channel blockers and antiplatelet in the basis of ACS is highly indicated.

Conclusion: Coronary artery spasm is not a rare cause of ACS. Coronary angiography is indicated in all cases to exclude severe coronary heart disease.
