Background From a large observational acute coronary syndrome registry in Côte d'Ivoire, we aimed to assess incidence, clinical presentation, management, and in‐hospital outcomes for type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) compared with type 1 MI. Methods and Results We conducted a cross‐sectional monocentric study using data from REACTIV (Registre des Infarctus de Côte d'Ivoire) at the Abidjan Heart Institute. All patients hospitalized with MI between 2018 and 2022 who underwent coronary angiography were included. For each patient, sociodemographic data, cardiovascular risk factors and history, and clinical and paraclinical presentation were collected at admission. In‐hospital outcomes, including major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality, were reported. Among 541 consecutive patients hospitalized with MI, 441 met the definition of type 1 MI or T2MI. T2MI accounted for 14.1% of cases. Patients with T2MI showed a trend toward slightly younger age (54 versus 58 years, P=0.09). Patients with T2MI seemed to have less severe coronary artery disease, with less frequent multivessel disease (P |
