Overview

To evaluate the prevalence and outcomes of different factors associated with oxygen supply-demand imbalance among patients with type 2 myocardial infarction, researchers conducted a secondary analysis of the High-STEACS cluster-randomized clinical trial.

They conducted the trial at 10 secondary and tertiary care hospitals including a total of 6096 patients with a diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 myocardial infarction.

The main outcome was all-cause death at 1 year according to the factors associated with oxygen supply-demand imbalance among patients with type 2 myocardial infarction.

In this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, mortality after type 2 myocardial infarction was associated with the underlying etiologic factor associated with oxygen supply-demand imbalance. Most type 2 myocardial infarctions were associated with tachyarrhythmia, with a better prognosis, whereas hypoxemia and anemia accounted for one-third of cases, with double the mortality of type 1 myocardial infarction.

The researchers hence noted that these differential outcomes should be considered by clinicians when determining which cases need to be managed if patient outcomes are to improve.
