Additionally, the management of patients with MI has significantly improved, resulting in less myocardial injury and necrosis, in spite of a similar clinical presentation. [...]it appears necessary to distinguish the various conditions which may cause MI, such as 'spontaneous' and 'procedure-related' MI. [...]physicians, other healthcare providers and patients require an up-to-date definition of MI.
