The results of the SMINC-2 study show that 77% of all patients with MINOCA received a diagnosis when imaged early with CMR, including advanced tissue characterization, which was a considerable improvement in comparison to the SMINC-1 study. This supports the use of early CMR imaging as a diagnostic tool in the investigation of patients with MINOCA. (Stockholm Myocardial Infarction With Normal Coronaries [SMINC]-2 Study on Diagnosis Made by Cardiac MRI [SCMINC-2]; NCT02318498).
