Type 1 | Acute atherothrombotic occlusion or mural thrombus with critical flow reduction initiated by plaque rupture or erosion |
Type 2 | Ischemic injury due to a myocardial oxygen supply-demand mismatch, which is not caused by coronary atherothrombosis (Table 2) |
Type 3 | Cardiac death in a clinical setting suggestive of ischemic injury (chest pain, ECG changes) but without definitive cardiac biomarker evidence |
Type 4 | PCI-related ischemic injury < 48 h after procedure. Includes also cases of MI due to late stent thrombosis or restenosis |
Type 5 | CABG-related ischemic injury < 48 h after the procedure |
