On the occasion of the ESC 2026 INOCA International created seven infographics about living with INOCA. They explore various perspectives on the impact of INOCA on work, private life, patients’ health (both mental and physical) and the pressure on the healthcare system. The infographics are based on the article Ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA): A patient self-report quality of life survey from INOCA international, gepubliceerd in International Journal of Cardiology, 2023.
The infographics below were developed by INOCA International and are reproduced here with permission. Further information about INOCA can be found at https://www.inocainternational.com
