Abstract

The importance of biomarker assay such as cardiac troponins and H-FABP is assuming a pivotal role not only in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with acute coronary syndromes. Radiofrequency (RF) ablation represents a widely used method for the non pharmacologic treatment of arrhythmias.We report a case of a patient complaining of life-threatening arrhythmias treated by RF in whom temporal changes of cardiac biomarkers was determined after the procedure.
