Table 2.
Causes of MI without atherothrombotic coronary artery disease
| Fixed coronary atherosclerotic plaques | In combination with non-coronary causes of oxygen demand-supply imbalance |
| Non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disease | Spasm/SVD, vasculitis, dissection, embolism, congenital anomalies, fibromuscular dysplasia, iatrogenic (stent or graft restenosis), PCI-related no-reflow |
| Non-coronary cardiac oxygen demand-supply imbalance | Sustained tachyarrhythmias, bradyarrhythmias, LV hypertrophy and/or dilatation |
| Extra cardiac oxygen demand-supply imbalance | Respiratory failure, severe anaemia, hypovolemic shock |
