Elevated baseline baseline hsTnT was associated with NIHSS, creatinine, ST segment depression and inverted T waves, but not with stroke location or size. None of the factors was helpful to differentiate MI and NSM. Therefore, ancillary investigations such as coronary angiography, cardiac MRI or both may be needed to solve the differential diagnosis.
