Myocardial Infarction types by causation

Type 1: Spontaneous Myocardial Infarction
- Atherosclerotic plaque rupture or intraluminal thrombus in one or more of the coronary arteries
Type 2: Myocardial Infarction Secondary to an Ischemic Imbalance
- Condition other than CAD contributes to an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and/or demand (e.g. coronary spasm, embolism, low or high blood pressures, anemia, or arrhythmias)
Type 3: Cardiac Death Due to Myocardial Infarction
- Sudden cardiac death with symptoms suggestive of myocardial ischaemia without elevated biomarkers
Type 4: Myocardial Infarction Associated With Revascularization Procedure
- 4a: Related to PCI
- 4b: Related to Stent Thrombosis
Type 5: Myocardial Infarction Related to CABG Procedure
