Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
This study will include all patients admitted to or reviewed in clinic at Barts Health NHS Trust with either a diagnosis of MINOCA or who do not have a clear cause of a troponin rise. These patients range from young adults to the elderly and will include any patient ≥16 years of age. Patients who are followed up with and without any intervention (i.e. both medically managed patients as well as patients undergoing intervention) are equally as important and therefore we shall include both groups of patients. Patients will be included from referrals made by other clinicians either as in or outpatients. All these patients have their clinical data captured on a database or hospital based clinical programme.
