68 Definitions of Myocardial Infarction Pathological diagnosis - loss of cardiac myocytes (necrosis) by prolonged ischaemia WHO 2 out of 3 of Typical symptoms Enzyme rise Typical ECG pattern European Heart Journal (2000) 21, doi: /euhj , available online at on Consensus Document Myocardial infarction redefined A consensus document of The Joint European Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology Committee for the Redefinition of Myocardial Infarction The Joint European Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology Committee** Freitag, 28. Mai 2010 Page 68

69 SUMMARY Definition of MI Criteria for acute, evolving or recent MI Either one of the following criteria satisfies the diagnosis for an acute, evolving or recent MI: (1) Typical rise and gradual fall (troponin) or more rapid rise and fall (CK-MB) of biochemical markers of myocardial necrosis with at least one of the following: (a) ischemic symptoms; (b) development of Q waves (c) ECG changes indicative of ischemia (ST segment elevation or depression) (d) coronary artery intervention (e.g., coronary angioplasty). (2) Pathologic findings of an acute MI. Criteria for established MI Any one of the following criteria satisfies the diagnosis for established MI: (1) Development of new pathologic Q waves on serial ECGs. The patient may or may not remember previous symptoms. Biochemical markers of myo-cardialnecrosis may have normalized, depending on the length of time that has passed since the infarct developed. (2) Pathologic findings of a healed or healing MI. Troponin levels Myocardial necrosis is detected if Maximal concentration of troponin T or I exceeds the decision limit (99th percentile of the values for a reference control group) on at least one occasion during the first 24 h after the index clinical event Implications Identification of more infarcts (but this would seem reasonable since any rise in Troponin is associated with adverse outcome) Allows appropriate secondary prevention in more cases Excludes previously mislabelled infarcts Social implications - HGV licenses, pilots licenses, life insurance, psychological Freitag, 28. Mai 2010 Page 69
