The cTnI/cTnT Ratio in Myocardial Injury: A Multicohort and Experimental Synthesis.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology·May 5, 2026·PMID 41739020

Why it matters

cTnI and cTnT are often used interchangeably, but this study shows their ratio reflects injury mechanism. Recognizing a low vs high ratio could help clinicians distinguish acute necrosis from chronic or non-necrotic injury, potentially refining diagnosis and management of patients with elevated troponins.
