- Abstract
- The new guidelines deal with the management of patients with STEMI and replace the document published in 2008. It covers different aspects such as emergency care and reperfusion therapy but also special subsets such as patient population, logistics, risk assessment and long-term therapies. After the 2000 and 2007 statements the third Global MI Task Force (Joint ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF) now recognizes in the new definition of acute myocardial infarction (MI) that very small amounts of myocardial injury or necrosis can be detected by biochemical markers and/or imaging, particularly when such necrosis occurs in the setting of the critically ill, after percutaneous coronary procedures or after cardiac surgery.
