Does not support Type D screening or risk stratification post-MI; leaves open its prognostic value pending larger prospective studies.
Cohort (n=946)
Does type D personality increase the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction or all-cause mortality in post-acute myocardial infarction patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 19.5% vs 17.2%
Type D personality is not an independent risk factor for recurrent myocardial infarction or all-cause mortality in patients who have suffered an acute myocardial infarction.
Condén et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in post-acute myocardial infarction (n=946). Type D personality vs. Non-type D personality was evaluated on Recurrent myocardial infarction. Type D personality was not independently associated with recurrent myocardial infarction (19.5% vs 17.2%) or all-cause mortality (31.6% vs 34.3%) in post-acute myocardial infarction patients.
