摘要
Background We designed this study to determine the value of serum levels of several cardiac markers in patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation and to establish the utility of cardiac troponin l (cTnl). After radiofrequency ablation there is always a small localized endomyocardial necrosis. The volume of the necrosis may be estimated by the rise of several biochemical marker levels, classically creatinine kinase (CK) and CK-MB. cTnl is a newly available biochemical marker with a high cardiac specificity. Methods and Results We analyzed the data from 51 patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation and from 16 control patients who underwent an electrophysiologic study without ablation. The levels of CK, CK-MB mass, cTnl, and myoglobin were compared with clinical findings, ST-T wave abnormalities, and the presence of arrhythmias. The study shows that there is a higher release of cTnl compared with the standard markers CK, CK-MB, and myoglobin. A pathologic value of cTnl was found in 92% of the patients of the ablation group. CK-MB had a lower sensitivity (63%). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for cTnl was 0.9375, significantly superior to the other biochemical markers (P < .05). We found a moderate level of correlation between the number of radiofrequency pulses and cardiac cTnl release (r = 0.69, P < .0001). Conclusions The serum level of cTnl detects the minor myocardial damage produced by radiofrequency ablation. This would be useful information to have in patients who might have the potential for other ischemic events. The other biochemical or ablation parameters usually reported, including the radiofrequency ablation parameters, have no good correlation with the size of the myocardial necrosis. Therefore we suggest that monitoring of cTnl is the best way to detect and quantify the size of myocardial necrosis created by radiofrequency ablation.
