There are 5 types of heart attacks:
Type 1 infarction: it is caused by a ruptured atheromatous plaque that obstructs one or more arteries that provide oxygen to the heart.
Type 2 infarction: it is caused by the imbalance between oxygen supply and demand, for example, during bleeding, severe infections, and arrhythmias.
Type 3 infarction: the patient has symptoms of a heart attack but dies before performing laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis.
Type 4 infarction: it is the result of the complications of percutaneous coronary angiography.
Type 5 infarction: originates from the complications of cardiac revascularization surgery.
