Diversity of types of myocardial infarction

A scientific team of cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons from Kemerovo and Moscow, with extensive scientific and clinical experience, dedicated this guide to the issue of the diversity of etiological causes and scenarios of myocardial infarction development. Myocardial infarction does not always develop according to the atherothrombotic variant (Type 1). In this case, the clinical severity and outcomes of patients with 'non-Type 1' myocardial infarctions are more serious than in patients with classic myocardial infarction, due to comorbid conditions, older age, and frailty of patients. The book presents literary data and personal experience in managing clinical cases of all major variants of 'non-Type 1' myocardial infarction development. The issues of diagnosis, effective treatment, lack of data from randomized clinical trials evaluating a particular therapeutic approach that has proven its effectiveness in treating patients with atherothrombotic myocardial infarction are discussed. The publication is intended for a wide range of readers (practicing cardiologists, therapists, cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, medical students, researchers) interested in the management of patients with myocardial infarction.
