Coronary artery spasm-induced acute myocardial infarction (CASIAMI) is one of the etiologies of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). We retrospectively analyzed the incidence and clinical characteristics of Japanese patients with CASIAMI and non-obstructive coronary arteries. We experienced 62 patients with MINOCA (10 thrombosis, 7 unknown causes, and 45 CASIAMI) among 991 patients with suspected AMI. Pharmacological spasm provocation testing was performed in 37 patients. CASIAMI without obstructive coronary arteries was found in 4.5% of patients with suspected AMI and was observed in 73% of patients with MINOCA. Patients with CASIAMI were frequently males and had relatively small AMIs. Spontaneous spasm was recognized in 8 patients. We could reproduce provoked spasm in 37 patients with MINOCA, including 23 patients with multiple spasm. No patients died during the follow-up period. The clinical outcomes in patients with CASIAMI under optimal coronary vasodilators were satisfactory.

D012189	Retrospective Studies	Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
