Type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) refers to myocardial necrosis caused by an imbalance in myocardial oxygen supply and demand and in the absence of acute coronary thrombosis. Despite growing recognition of this entity, there remains little understanding of the pathophysiology and uncertainty over the diagnostic criteria for this subtype of MI. Alarmingly, recent studies suggest that a diagnosis of T2MI pertains a prognosis similar to, if not worse than, type 1 MI. With increasing clinical use of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays, the frequency of recognition of T2MI is expected to increase. Yet, there remains a scarcity of prospective studies examining this cohort of patients, let alone randomized clinical trials identifying optimum treatment strategies. Further evaluation of the prevalence, pathophysiology and management of this patient cohort is warranted by the scientific community.

Background: Beta-trace protein (BTP) and cystatin C (CysC) are novel biomarkers of renal function. We assessed the ability of both to predict major bleeding (MB) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS), compared to other renal function parameters and clinical risk scores. Methods and Results: We included 273 patients. Blood samples were obtained within 24h of admission. The endpoint was MB. During a follow-up of 760 days (411–1,098 days), 25 patients (9.2%) had MB. Patients with MB had higher concentrations of BTP (0.98mg/L; 0.71–1.16mg/L vs. 0.72mg/L, 0.60–0.91mg/L, P=0.002), CysC (1.05mg/L; 0.91–1.30mg/L vs. 0.90mg/L, 0.75–1.08mg/L, P=0.003), higher CRUSADE score (39±16 points vs. 29±15 points, P=0.002) and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; 66±27 vs. 80±30ml·min–1·1.73m–2, P=0.02) than patients without MB; there was no difference in creatinine level between the groups (P=0.14). After multivariable adjustment, both were predictors of MB, while eGFR and creatinine did not achieve statistical significance. Among subjects with eGFR >60ml·min–1·1.73m–2, those with elevated concentrations of both biomarkers had a significantly higher risk for MB. Net reclassification indexes from the addition of BTP and CysC to CRUSADE risk score were 38% and 21% respectively, while the relative integrated discrimination indexes were 12.5% and 3.8%. Conclusions: Among NSTE-ACS patients, BTP and CysC were superior to conventional renal parameters for predicting MB, and improved clinical stratification for hemorrhagic risk.  (Circ J 2013; 77: 2088–2096)
