|
|
Abstract With the emergence of more sensitive cardiac biomarkers, European Heart Society(ESC), American Foundation for Cardiology(ACCF), American Heart Association(AHA) and World Heart Federation(WHF) made a universal definition of myocardial infarction in biochemical and clinical methods in 2000 for the first time. Since then, the definition has been continuously updated. During the ESC Congress held in Munich, Germany, Aug. 25, 2018, ESC released the fourth universal definition about myocardial infarction with 5 new concepts proposed, multiple concepts updated and 5 chapters about new diseases introduced.
