Type 2 myocardial infarction

Abstract: Patients who suffered a T2MI had less typical symptoms, were less aggressively treated with anticoagulants, platelet inhibitors or percutaneous coronary intervention, but had similar complications and mortality to those with T1MI. Patients with T2MI are a heterogeneous group that requires further investigation to better define optimal therapeutic approaches.

“…Among patients presenting to an ED with elevated cardiac troponin and symptoms indicative of acute coronary syndrome, the prevalence of type 2 myocardial infarction (type 2 AMI) has a wide variability, ranging from 1.6–71% [52]. Type 2 AMI more frequently occurs among older patients with numerous comorbid conditions [52,53] and is associated with a poor long-term outcome [54]. In type 2 AMI, a comorbid condition (e.g., sustained tachyarrhythmia, atrial fibrillation (AF), severe hypertension, respiratory failure, severe anemia or shock) is the major contributor of a significant imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and/or demand with consequent cardiac troponin elevation [55].…”

“…Finally, the optimal medical treatment of T2MI is still unknown, since therapeutic agents currently used for type 1 MI have not been tested in T2MI so far. 6,[9][10][11] Accordingly, in our study we observed a very low use of such pharmacological treatments in COVID-19 patients.…”

“…However, cardiac catheterization almost certainly is associated with significant risk in such critically ill patients. Finally, the optimal medical treatment of T2MI is still unknown, since therapeutic agents currently used for type 1 MI have not been tested in T2MI so far 6,9–11 . Accordingly, in our study we observed a very low use of such pharmacological treatments in COVID-19 patients.…”

“…[16][17][18] Interestingly, it was observed that patients with T2MI were less likely to undergo invasive angiography. 19 In order to assess if the presence (or the absence) of a culprit lesion could affect the outcome, we performed a survival analysis between patients with T1MI compared to those with T2MI, which showed no difference in the rate of adverse events (Supplemental Figure 4S, http://links.lww.com/ JCM/A415). In addition, the proportion of patients with T2MI was equally distributed between the 'defer' and 'perform' groups (Table 1).…”
