Resumo(s)
Background: Nowadays it is well recognized that the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease in a patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of ischemia and ST-segment alterations does not preclude an atherothrombotic etiology. CMR is an essential method for the investigation of Myocardial infarction (MI) with non obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA). Clinical Case: A 66 years-old female patient was referred after an episode of acute oppressive chest pain, nausea and hypersudorese, followed by syncope. She had a previous medical history of rheumatoid arthritis, under immunosuppression, occlusion of the cilioretinal artery, hypertension and dyslipidemia. On admission she was hypotensive (80/60mmHg). The ECG showed sinus rhythm and mild ST depression in V2-V3 leads, and the echocardiogram a small circumferential pericardial effusion (10mm) with signs of hemodynamic compromise. The blood tests documented a slight leukocytosis and an elevated troponin (hs-TnT 619ng/L).
