Abstract
LONDONO-GOMEZ, Felipe; ROMERO-CORTES, Anamaría and RESTREPO, Diana. Diagnosis of Minoca and Psychological Stress in a 54-Year-Old Woman. A Case Report. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2022, vol.51, n.1, pp.71-75. Epub July 07, 2022. ISSN 0034-7450. https://doi.org/10.10167j.rcp.2020.07.004.
The term MINOCA refers to Myocardial Infarction with Non- Obstructive Coronary Arteries. The case is presented of a 54-year-old woman who, in different psychological stress situa-tions developed characteristic symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction and increased troponins where the coronary angiography ruled out vascular involvement. In the psycho-logical evaluation the patient described recent multiple stress factors and severe problems in childhood and early adulthood. This case is important as it concerns a woman that has no other risk factor except acute stress and a vivid traumatic history since childhood that can associate mental stress with cardiovascular disease.
