Breaking the code: What is the best post-PCI MI definition?

Arnold H Seto et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2017 Apr.

Abstract

Various definitions of post-PCI MI have been recommended by different professional societies and studies. This present study suggests that the troponin-based 3rd universal definition of post-PCI MI has prognostic value for recurrent MI but not mortality alone, unlike the CK-MB based SCAI definition. Absent a consensus on the best definition, clinical trials should report outcomes based on multiple definitions of post-PCI MI.
