Presentation of Acute Myocardial Infarction Type 2 in a Patient with Septic Shock
Main Article Content
Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (MI) in the setting of septic shock presents a multifaceted clinical challenge. In this review, we explore the distinct presentation of type 2 MI among patients grappling with septic shock and coronary artery disease. The coexistence of these conditions poses significant risks, potentially leading to both type 1 and type 2 MIs. We delve into the pathophysiological underpinnings and the clinical implications of these subtypes of MI, emphasizing the altered hemodynamics and increased metabolic demand leading to type 2 MI. Our discussion highlights the differences in management and outcomes, underscoring the critical need for nuanced understanding in clinical practice.
