Putot A, et al. - Given that type 2 myocardial infarction and non-ischemic myocardial injury, corresponding to troponin elevation without atherothrombosis, are emerging concepts suspected of being common in Emergency Departments (ED), researchers examined their respective frequencies, risk profiles and short-term prognoses. Results revealed that among the four thousand, four hundred thirty-six patients included, 1,453 (33%) were classified as myocardial injury, 1,947 (21%) as type 2 and 2036 (46%) as type 1 myocardial infarction. They discovered that myocardial injury and type 2 myocardial infarction were frequent and linked with a worse in-hospital prognosis than type 1 myocardial infarction due to non-cardiovascular events in a large study of patients with elevated troponins in an ED.
