The prognostic impact of prevailing definitions of periprocedural myocardial infarction in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Several contradictory definitions have been proposed for the diagnosis of periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of PMI and to identify the definition of PMI with the most relevant prognostic impact.

Methods and results

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the search was conducted in thee electronic databases (MEDLINE & PubMed Central, Cochrane Library, Embase). The primary definitions of interest comprised the universal definition of myocardial infarction (UDMI; UDMI-3/4) and Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) definition. The primary outcomes were the prevalence of PMI and its prognostic impact, expressed in hazard ratios (HRs) and 9
