Abstract

A type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) is a heart attack brought on by a partial blockage of the coronary artery, which allows blood to still reach the heart muscle. Instead of a sudden blockage, this kind of heart attack is frequently brought on by a slow accumulation of plaque in the coronary artery. The EKG and cardiac imaging procedures, such as echocardiography or cardiac MRI, are typically used to diagnose type 2 MI. Treatment for type 2 MI may entail a change in lifestyle, medication, or interventions like angioplasty or bypass surgery. People with type 2 MI often have a fair prognosis and recover fully most of the time.However, those who have type 2 MI are more likely to experience additional heart attacks or other cardiovascular problems
