Differentiating type 1 and 2 acute myocardial infarctions using the N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide/cardiac troponin T ratio

The clinical determination of whether an AMI is type 1 or 2 is difficult as the ED patient characteristics of each are similar. The NT-proBNP/cTnT Gen 5 ratio can aid in making this differentiation. Additional multicenter trials are needed to validate our results.
