Abstract
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. To identify the prevalence and risk of T2MI in adults with depression and its impact on the in-hospital outcomes. We queried the National Inpatient Sample (2019) to identify T2MI hospitalizations using Internal Classification of Diseases-10 codes in hospitalized adults (≥ 18 years). In addition, we compared sociodemographic and comorbidities in the T2MI cohort with vs without comorbid depression. Finally, we used multivariate regression analysis to study the odds of T2MI hospitalizations with vs without depression and in-hospital outcomes (all-cause mortality, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, and stroke), adjusting for confounders. Statistical significance was achieved with a P value of < 0.05. There were 331145 adult T2MI hospitalizations after excluding T1MI (median age: 73 years, 52.8% male, 69.9% white); 41405 (12.5%) had depression, the remainder; 289740 did not have depression. Multivariate analysis revealed lower odds of T2MI in patients with depression vs without [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.88, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.86-0.90, P = 0.001]. There was the equal prevalence of prior MI with any revascularization and a similar prevalence of peripheral vascular disease in the cohorts with depression vs without depression. There is a greater prevalence of stroke in patients with depression (10.1%) vs those without (8.6%). There was a slightly higher prevalence of hyperlipidemia in patients with depression vs without depression (56.5% vs 48.9%), as well as obesity (21.3% vs 17.9%). There was generally equal prevalence of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus in both cohorts. There was no significant difference in elective and non-elective admissions frequency between cohorts. Patients with depression vs without depression also showed a lower risk of all-cause mortality (aOR = 0.75, 95%CI: 0.67-0.83, P = 0.001), cardiogenic shock (aOR = 0.65, 95%CI: 0.56-0.76, P = 0.001), cardiac arrest (aOR = 0.77, 95%CI: 0.67-0.89, P = 0.001) as well as stroke (aOR = 0.79, 95%CI: 0.70-0.89, P = 0.001). This study revealed a significantly lower risk of T2MI in patients with depression compared to patients without depression by decreasing adverse in-hospital outcomes such as all-cause mortality, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, and stroke in patients with depression.
