Impact of depression on in-hospital outcomes for adults with type 2 myocardial infarction: A United States population-based analysis.

Background: Type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) is an ischemic myocardial injury in the context of oxygen supply/demand mismatch in the absence of a primary coronary event. However, though there is a rising prevalence of depression and its potential association with type 1 myocardial infarction (T1MI), data remains non-existent to evaluate the association with T2MI.

Aim: To identify the prevalence and risk of T2MI in adults with depression and its impact on the in-hospital outcomes.
