      Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction The fourth universal definition focuses on identification of myocardial injury–elevated troponin–and the process of determining the mechanism as ischemic (infarction) or non-ischemic. An acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is defined as acute myocardial injury with:
