MANZUR-SANDOVAL, D; VALDEZ-HERNANDEZ, P  y  OSEGUERA-MOGUEL, J. Type 2 myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation. Med. interna Méx. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.4, pp.526-532. ISSN 0186-4866.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Type 2 MI is secondary to an imbalance in myocardial oxygen delivery/consumption relationship and has its own clinical characteristics. We report the case of a patient with multiple factors that created an imbalance in the myocardial oxygen delivery/consumption relationship and also had significantly ST segment elevation on the electrocardiogram and marked elevation of troponin I. All these changes reversed with the onset of medical management of the factors that contributed to this imbalance.

Palabras llave : type 2 myocardial infarction; troponin I; myocardial oxygen consumption.
