Symptoms of ischaemia. b. New or presumed new significant ST-segment-T wave (ST-T) changes or new left bundle branch block (LBBB)in the electrocardiogram (ECG). c. Development of pathologic Q waves in the electrocardiogram (ECG). d. Imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion abnormality. e. Identification of an intracoronary thrombus by angiography or autopsy. Infarction of any myocardial site, occurring within 4 weeks (28 days) from onset of a previous infarction (WHO)
