Patients with Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) did not show improvement in Health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) during the first year after the acute event, indicating a need for increased follow-up and psychological support.
Aims Patients with Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) are a heterogenous group and previous studies indicate a decreased Health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) compared with patients with myocardial infarction with obstructive coronary artery disease and healthy individuals. However, longitudinal data are scarce. Therefore, the aim was to explore HRQoL among patients with MINOCA during a one-year period after the acute event in comparison with a group of healthy individuals and to describe HRQoL in patients with Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS). Methods and results Patients with MINOCA were recruited from five hospitals in the Stockholm region (SMINC-2 study, clinical trials: NCT2318498). Patients responded to the HRQoL questionnaire RAND-36 between days 2-4, after 6 and 12 months respectively. A sample of population-based individuals was used as a comparison group. A total of 142 MINOCA patients, (70% women) mean age of 56 years, responded. A population-based sample of 317 volunteers (66% women) mean age of 57 years. Patients with MINOCA scored lower than the comparison group in the domains role functioning physical, social functioning, and role functioning emotional (P = 0.01-0.02) at 12 months. In these domains of HRQoL there was no improvement in MINOCA patients during 12 months follow-up. In the domains of energy/fatigue vitality and emotional well-being the scores improved and were similar to the comparison group at 12 months. Patients with TTS scored generally lower on RAND-36 than MINOCA patients without TTS. Conclusion Physical, social, and emotional functioning did not improve during the first year after MINOCA, indicating a need for increased follow-up including psychological support.
