cTnI, Cardiac troponin I; cTnT, Cardiac troponin T; SAS, Subaortic stenosis; PS, Pulmonic stenosis; MMVD, Myxomatous mitral valve disease; DCM, Dilated cardiomyopathy; ARVC, Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; HCM, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; IMHA, Immune‐mediated hemolytic anemia; GDV, Gastric dilatation‐volvulus; SIRS, Systemic inflammatory response syndrome.

*NB: Not all studies in the noncardiac disease group have ruled out primary cardiac disease as a cause of myocardial injury.
