Application of the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction in Clinical Practice in Scotland and Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Whether the diagnostic classifications proposed by the universal definition of myocardial infarction (MI) to identify type 1 MI due to atherothrombosis and type 2 MI due to myocardial oxygen supply-demand imbalance have been applied consistently in clinical practice is unknown.

Objective

To evaluate the application of the universal definition of MI in consecutive patients with possible MI across 2 health care systems.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study used data from 2 prospective cohorts enrolling consecutive patients with possible MI in Scotland (2013-2016) and Sweden (2011-2014) to assess accuracy of clinical diagnosis of MI recorded in hospital records for patients with an adjudicated diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 MI. Data were analyzed
