A new clinical evidence based classification system has been jointly introduced by the American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA), European Society of Cardiology (ESC), and the World Heart Federation (WHF). The primary diagnostic tests include the electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) and blood tests to detect elevated creatine kinase or troponin levels (these are chemical markers released by damaged tissues, especially the myocardium).
