- Abstract
Although there remains particular concern about late malignant ventricular arrhythmias arising from myocardial damage induced by catheter ablation, the extent of myocardial injury resulting from clinical ablation procedures has not been fully studied. We conducted a prospective, controlled study to investigate the use of two newer markers of myocardial integrity, troponin-T concentration and creatine kinase isoforms, and a traditional marker, creatine kinase-MB concentration, in the assessment of myocardial injury following radiofrequency catheter ablation.
