As issued by the authors

  1. New binary classification: 'acute myocardial ischaemic syndromes' and 'non-acute myocardial ischaemic syndromes', comprising obstructive epicardial and non-obstructive mechanisms (microvascular dysfunction, vasospastic disorders, non-coronary causes)

  2. Retain acute coronary syndromes (ACS), STEMI and NSTEMI as subsets for which revascularization is of proven clinical benefit, plus ischaemia and myocardial infarction (MI) with non-obstructive coronary arteries
