A multidisciplinary etiologic work-up of MINOCA has recently been proposed by international consensus documents. The present study aims for a structured scientific data collection from a full guideline-based work-up after MINOCA and follow-up of 5 years to assess clinical outcomes.\n\nUntreated atrial fibrillation is a potentially neglected underlying cause of MINOCA. As implantable cardiac monitors (ICM) can detect atrial fibrillation with high accuracy, the aim of this study is, for the first time, to assess the occurrence of first diagnosed atrial fibrillation with the use of ICM in patients with MINOCA.\n\nTo allow for an all-comers data collection, patients with contraindication(s) to ICM implantation will be enrolled into the non-ICM group to assess the frequency of underlying causes of MINOCA and clinical outcomes throughout 5 years.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '85 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Consecutive patients with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) confirmed MINOCA at 2 large tertiary care centers in Switzerland', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria ICM group\n\n1. ≥18 years of age\n2.
