Figure 2. Results for MI type according to treatment strategy.

With the primary definition, there were slightly more first MI events in the conservative strategy whereas the opposite was true using the secondary MI definition. Dark blue shows spontaneous type 1 MI’s that were reduced in the invasive strategy regardless of which MI definition was used. The incidence of type 2 MI’s shown in light blue were similar. Procedural MI’s (orange) were more common in the invasive strategy and, as expected, occurred with greater frequency using the secondary definition (right panel). Stent related type 4b (stent thrombosis-related) and 4c MI’s (in-stent restenosis-related) shown in red were more frequent in the invasive strategy.
