PTX3 or BNP at time of admission.
AUC: area under curve; CI: confidence interval; TIMI: thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (risk score); GRACE: global registry of acute coronary events (risk score); PTX3: pentraxin-3 at 24 h after onset of myocardial infarction; BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide at 24 h after onset of myocardial infarction.
