↵* Unstable angina/NSTEMI versus STEMI.
ACS, acute coronary syndrome; BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; hs-TnT, high sensitivity troponin T; LVH, left ventricular hypertrophy; LVSD, left ventricular systolic dysfunction; NSTEMI, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction; STEMI, ST elevation myocardial infarction.
