Patient Characteristics and Outcomes of Type 2 Myocardial Infarction During Heart Failure Hospitalizations in the United States
2021
Abstract Background Type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) is increasingly diagnosed in patients with heart failure (HF). A paucity of data exists pertinent to the contemporary prevalence and impact of type 2 MI in patients with HF. We studied the patient profiles and the prognostic impact of type 2 MI on outcomes of HF hospitalizations. Methods The Nationwide Readmission Database 2018 was queried for patients with HF hospitalizations with and without type 2 MI. Baseline characteristics, inpatient outcomes, and 30-day all-cause readmissions between both cohorts were compared. Results Of 1,072,674 primary HF hospitalizations included in the study, 28,813 (2.7%) had type 2 MI. Patients with type 2 MI were more likely to be males (56.5% vs 51.6%; P Conclusion Type 2 MI in patients hospitalized with HF is associated with higher mortality and resource utilization in the United States.
