Abstract Background this prospective comparative observational study, to compare the incidence of myocardial injury in patients with hypovolemic shock versus septic shock, after approval of Ethical committee of critical care department on forty patients in general ICU divided into two groups of twenty patients each equal. Aim of the Work to compare the incidence of myocardial injury in patients with hypovolemic shock versus septic shock. Patients and Methods this prospective comparative observational study, carried out in Maadi Military Force Hospital, to compare the incidence of myocardial injury in patients with hypovolemic shock versus septic shock, after approval of Ethical committee of critical care department on forty patients in general ICU divided into two groups of twenty patients each equal. Results group A has higher values in SOFA score than in Group B, most probably due to toxins affected perfusion of organs and response to resuscitation, beside the poor cellular oxygen utilization, so clinical outcome among the two groups was twenty-four patients died in (sixteen patients in Group A and eight patients in Group B), so in our study there was a higher mortality in Group A patients (Septic shock) than Group B patients (Hypovolemic shock), The deceased patients had higher serum cTnI levels than survivors, this was concordant with Arlati and his colleagues, but there were no significant differences in cardiac troponin. Conclusion the incidence of myocardial infarction is increased in Group A (septic patients) more than Group B (hypovolemic patients), most probably due to the maldistribution of coronary blood flow which might produce, for a given level of hypotension, higher amounts of myocardial damage and, consequently, higher levels of troponin I than in hypovolemic shock.
