Long-Term Outcomes of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Nonobstructive Coronary Artery Disease

Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) have a substantial risk of subsequent coronary events within 1 year. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence, long-term outcomes, and adherence to oral antiplatelet therapy in patients wi...

Description
Summary:Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) have a substantial risk of subsequent coronary events within 1 year. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence, long-term outcomes, and adherence to oral antiplatelet therapy in patients with ACS and nonobstructive CAD compared with patients with ACS and obstructive CAD who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention. Nonobstructive CAD was defined as an angiographic finding of
