Breaking the code: What is the best post-PCI MI definition?
Arnold H SetoMorton J KernPublished in: Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions (2017)
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.
