Abstrakt: While the optimal management strategies of patients with T2MI and acute myocardial injury remain uncertain, it is evident that these patients have poor short- and long-term outcomes[3]-[6] and they might benefit from interventions to prevent future cardiovascular morbidity. 1 Proportions of patients with suspected type 2 myocardial infarction and acute myocardial injury who were medically initiated or intensified on, dose-reduced or discontinued, maintained without change on, or discharged without therapy for major cardioprotective medication classes at hospital discharge. The classification of elevated cardiac troponin levels has expanded with the advent of high sensitivity troponin assays over the last decade.[1], [2] A type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) is defined by an ischemic event due to myocardial oxygen supply-demand mismatch.
