TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the definition of MI and established the following criteria for acute, evolving or recent MI: 1) Typical rise and gradual fall (troponin) or more rapid rise and fall (CK-MB) of biochemical markers of myocardial necrosis with at least one of the following: a) ischemic symptoms; b) development of pathologic Qwaves on the ECG; c) ECG changes indicative of ischemia (ST segment elevation or depression); or d) coronary artery intervention (e.g., coronary ang

TL;DR: The If Inhibitor Ivabradine in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Left Ventricular Dysfunction is evaluated as well as patients with Diabetes mellitus for Optimal management of Multivessel disease.

TL;DR: Information on myocardial infarction attack rates can provide useful data regarding the burden of coronary artery disease within and across populations, especially if standardized data are collected in a manner that demonstrates the distinction between incident and recurrent events.

TL;DR: It is of great importance that guidelines and recommendations are presented in formats that are easily interpreted, and their implementation programmes must also be well conducted.
