Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Type 2 MI has become as common as Type 1 MI in the community and is associated with higher mortality, primarily driven by early and noncardiovascular death.
There has been an evolution in the type of MI occurring in the community over a decade, with the incidence of T2MI now being similar to T1MI. Mortality after T2MI is higher and driven by early and noncardiovascular death. The provoking mechanism of supply/demand mismatch affects long-term survival. These findings underscore the healthcare burden of T2MI and provide benchmarks for clinical trial design.
