A specific definition of PMI was used by 46.4% of respondents (Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction [UDMI]-4: 67.4%, Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions [SCAI]: 16.3%, second Academic Research Consortium [ARC-2]: 6.1%, other: 10.2%). Respondents identified biomarker concentrations defining PMI with supporting (imaging) evidence (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T [hs-cTnT]: 489 ng\/L, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I [hs-cTnI]: 425 ng\/L, CKMB-mass: 90ug\/L, CKMB-activity: 100 U\/L) and without (hs-cTnT: 931 ng\/L, hs-cTnI: 1458 ng\/L, CKMB-mass: 100ug\/L, CKMB-activity: 300UL). The lowest acceptable sensitivity and specificity thresholds for a future definition were 95% [90%-95%] and 90% [80%-95%], respectively, while sensitivity was deemed more important than specificity (79.8% vs 20.2%, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of PMI definitions varies widely, though UDMI-4 is most frequently employed.
