Cardiac troponin I and cardiac enzymes after electrophysiologic studies, ablations, and defibrillator implantations.
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.
