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.

Keywords : Myocardial infarction; Psychological stress; Coronary vessels; Coronary artery disease.
