Treatment and outcomes of type 2 myocardial infarction and myocardial injury compared with type 1 myocardial infarction

Abstract

Patients with type 2 MI and myocardial injury were less likely to receive medical therapy for CAD than those with type 1 MI. No differences in all-cause mortality among MI subtypes were observed. Additional studies to determine optimal medical therapy and risk stratification strategies for these high-risk populations are warranted.
