Myocardial injury after electrical therapy for cardiac arrhythmias assessed by troponin-T release

The American Journal of Cardiology
M RunsiöL Bergfeldt

Abstract

Episodes of ventricular fibrillation with subsequent intracardiac, and to a lesser extent, external defibrillation give rise to a statistically significant increase in S-troponin T, S-CK-MB(mass) and S-myoglobin indicative of a minor myocardial injury or dysfunction. In contrast, no such signs were observed after external direct-current conversion of atrial fibrillation using high energies, or after pace-terminated ventricular tachycardia.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
