Background: Despite differing underlying pathophysiology, type 1 and type 2 myocardial infarction share many of the same diagnostic criteria and can be challenging to differentiate in clinical practice. Correctly differentiating type 1 from type 2 myocardial infarction is important because the two are managed differently. The aim of this study was to compare the patterns of rise of cardiac troponin (cTn) and creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) in type 1 versus type 2 myocardial infarction.Methods: We analyzed retrospective data on 200 patients with myocardial infarction (97 with type 1, 103 with type 2), excluding patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
