Markers of myocardial damage after radiofrequency ablation of tachyarrhythmia

Abstract

<p>This study presents literature data over the past few years on markers of acute myocardial damage after radiofrequency ablation. Information on markers such as troponin I and T, creatine phosphokinase and its fractions, CRP and interleukins and myoglobin is presented in detail. For each potential myocardial damage indicator, data related to their expression site, chemical basis of each marker and correlation between the degree of damage caused by radiofrequency exposure and the levels of various biomarkers of myocardial damage are provided.</p><p>Received 12 November 2019.
