Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries is a new definition and clinical manifestation that includes multiple cardiac conditions. The importance in its recognition and search of the etiology lies in the long-term prognosis given the higher incidence of major cardiovascular events. Therefore, the differentiation of other clinical causes of elevation of cardiac biomarkers and a detailed diagnostic approach based on clinical history and complementary studies are fundamental to define treatment, follow-up and impact on the evolution of patients.
