Utilization of Cardiovascular Procedures, Consultation Services, and Cardioprotective Medications Among Type 2 Myocardial Infarction Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary atherosclerosis and recurrent cardiovascular events are common among individuals with type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI). However, cardiovascular resource utilization among T2MI patients is unclear.

Objectives

The aim of the study was to characterize cardiovascular resource utilization among T2MI patients across the United States.

Methods

Using Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database, cardiovascular procedures, physician services, and prescriptions within 6 months postdischarge were compared among patients with T2MI vs type 1 myocardial infarction (T1MI) between October 1, 2017, and June 30, 2020. Multivariable logistic regression examined the odds of resource utilization in T2MI vs T1MI and identified predictors of utilization for
