Table 2. Causes of acute myocardial infarction without coronary atherosclerosis.
• Coronary artery disease other than atherosclerosis (for
example, Kawasaki’s syndrome) • Trauma to coronary arteries • Spontaneous coronary dissection • Coronary mural thickening with metabolic disease or intimal proliferation (for example, amyloid and Fabry’s disease) • Other causes of luminal narrowing (for example, spasm) • Coronary emboli • Congenital coronary anomalies • Supply–demand mismatch • In situ thrombosis • Other (for example, contusion, complications of angiography, Takotsubo, Takayasu’s arteritis, and giant cell arteritis) |
