Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed how high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels change in patients after they undergo cardioversion for atrial fibrillation/flutter.
- Researchers measured hs-cTnT alongside other biomarkers at various time points before and after the procedure, finding that while many patients initially showed elevated hs-cTnT levels, these did not significantly change over time.
- The findings suggest that the rise in hs-cTnT seen in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation/flutter is not a result of the cardioversion procedure itself, as levels tend to decrease gradually without further significant increases.
