Although coronary thrombus overlying a disrupted atherosclerotic plaque has long been
considered the hallmark and the primary therapeutic target for acute myocardial infarction …

In the late 19th century, post-mortem examinations demonstrated a possible relationship
between thrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery and myocardial infarction (MI). 1 …

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) can occur from increased myocardial oxygen demand
and/or reduced supply in the absence of acute atherothrombotic plaque disruption; a …

Background: Type 2 myocardial infarction and myocardial injury are common in clinical
practice, but long-term consequences are uncertain. We aimed to define long-term …

Background: The introduction of more sensitive cardiac troponin assays has led to increased
recognition of myocardial injury in acute illnesses other than acute coronary syndrome. The …

Troponin is a widely used biomarker in patients with cardiac disease. The use of troponin is
well established in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but troponin …

Background: Type 2 myocardial infarction is caused by myocardial oxygen supply-demand
imbalance, and its diagnosis is increasingly common with the advent of high-sensitivity …

Background Cardiac troponins have emerged as the preferred biomarkers for detecting
myocardial necrosis and diagnosing myocardial infarction. However, current cardiac …

Background: Type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) occurs because of an acute imbalance in
myocardial oxygen supply and demand in the absence of atherothrombosis. Despite being …
