2024Open accessMohammed V University

Abstract

In young female patients without traditional risk factors, human immunodeficiency virus infection is a possible etiological factor for myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries. The likely pathophysiological pathway is superficial endothelial cell denudation as a result of chronic inflammation and immune activation.
