The British Cardiac Society commissioned this report to help address inconsistencies in the terminology for acute coronary syndromes and wide variations in the threshold for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) depending on the assay performed, the precision, and the sensitivity. In addition, several publications have highlighted potential problems with the application of the European Society of Cardiology(ESC)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) consensus document published in 2000. A revision process has been initiated under the guidance of the ESC, the ACC, and the American Heart Association (AHA). The purpose of this report is to help inform the next revision of the ESC/ACC/AHA guidelines for the diagnosis of MI.
英国心脏病学会委托撰写本报告,以解决急性冠状动脉综合征术语不一致的问题,以及因所采用的检测方法、精密度和灵敏度不同而导致的心肌梗死(MI)诊断阈值存在的广泛差异。此外,一些出版物强调了2000年发表的欧洲心脏病学会(ESC)/美国心脏病学会(ACC)共识文件在应用中存在的潜在问题。在ESC、ACC和美国心脏协会(AHA)的指导下,已启动修订程序。本报告的目的是为ESC/ACC/AHA心肌梗死诊断指南的下一次修订提供参考依据。
