Ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) is not an uncommon diagnosis in patients presenting with chest pain who undergo clinically indicated coronary angiography. However, the symptoms reported by patients with INOCA may be heterogeneous, leading to misdiagnosis and undertreatment. Herein we report 3 clinical cases of INOCA misdiagnosis and describe how the cases were reinvestigated following the appropriate diagnostic pathway. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)

Abstract

Ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) is not an uncommon diagnosis in patients presenting with chest pain who undergo clinically indicated coronary angiography. However, the symptoms reported by patients with INOCA may be heterogeneous, leading to misdiagnosis and undertreatment. Herein we report 3 clinical cases of INOCA misdiagnosis and describe how the cases were reinvestigated following the appropriate diagnostic pathway. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
