Trends and In-Hospital Mortality for Perioperative Myocardial Infarction After the Introduction of a Diagnostic Code for Type 2 Myocardial Infarction in the United States Between 2016 and 2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The frequency of perioperative myocardial infarction has been declining; however, previous studies have only described type 1 myocardial infarctions.
