High-sensitivity troponin T as a marker of myocardial injury after radiofrequency catheter ablation

Abstract

The aim of our study was to monitor radiofrequency catheter ablation-induced myocardial damage by measuring high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT). Serum concentrations of hs-cTnT were measured in healthy blood donors and serially in patients who had samples taken both before and 24 h after radiofrequency ablation.
