title: Cardiac troponin I and cardiac enzymes after electrophysiologic studies, ablations, and defibrillator implantations.
abstract: Diagnostic electrophysiologic studies and defibrillator implantations with subsequent test discharges from the defibrillator do not cause an elevation in cardiac troponin I levels. All patients with an ablation had an elevation in the cardiac troponin I levels.
