Why the study?
Does elective cardioversion cause significant release of cardiac troponins T and I?
Does elective cardioversion cause significant release of cardiac troponins T and I?
Elective cardioversion does not cause significant elevation of cardiac troponins, indicating that troponin elevation post-cardioversion should raise suspicion for primary myocardial infarction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Troponin rise after cardioversion may signal MI rather than injury; leaves open confirmation in larger cohorts with modern assays.
