NCT02270359
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of plaque disruption and to assess the composition of disrupted plaques in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Additionally, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) will be used to detect myocardial abnormalities, which will be correlated to OCT findings to gain insight into the mechanisms of MI in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (i.e. "open arteries").
Detailed Description:
In this single center, observational study, patients of both sexes with MI who are referred for cath will be enrolled. Those who have no obstructive CAD on clinically indicated coronary angiography, defined as no stenosis of \>50% in any major epicardial vessel, will undergo coronary OCT just after the clinically indicated diagnostic angiogram, and CMR within 1 week, typically within 72-96 hours. Participants will be followed for clinical events for at least 1 year. 20 fully eligble participants will be recruited at NYU Langone Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital Center among a projected 200 enrolled patients.
