Long-term outcome of patients presenting with myocardial injury or myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Patients with acute or chronic myocardial injury are frequently identified in the context of suspected myocardial infarction (MI). We aimed to investigate their long-term follow-up.

Methods and results

We prospectively enrolled 2714 patients with suspected MI and followed them for all-cause mortality and a composite cardiovascular endpoint (CVE; cardiovascular death, MI, unplanned revascularization) for a median of 5.1 years. Final diagnoses were adjudicated by two cardiologists according to the Fourth Universal Definition of MI, including 143 (5.3%) ST-elevation MI, 236 (8.7%) non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI) Type 1 (T1), 128 (4.7%) NSTEMI T2, 86 (3.2%) acute and 677 (24.9%) with chronic myocardial injury, and 1444 (53.2%) with other reasons for chest pain (reference).
