Overview
myocardial injury is defined as elevated troponin concentrations without sign and symptom indicating overt myocardial ischemia. Traditionally, elevated troponin level was explained as myocardial infarction. By improving the laboratory method and clinical approach to diagnosis the ischemia, patients with myocardial injury due to underlying diseases were assessed and treated. Evaluation and treatment of percipitant factors related to myocardial injury including sepsis, anemia, chronic kidney disease, cardiomyopathy are practically indicated. However, patients with evidence of myocardial injury and myocardial ischemia both have poor short term outcome.
