Why the study?
Does transvenous electrical cardioversion increase plasma cardiac troponin I concentrations in horses with atrial fibrillation?
Does transvenous electrical cardioversion increase plasma cardiac troponin I concentrations in horses with atrial fibrillation?
Transvenous electrical cardioversion in horses with atrial fibrillation causes a statistically significant but likely clinically unimportant increase in cardiac troponin I.
