[Role of biomarkers in the detection of sub-clinical myocardial injury: H-FABP and radiofrequency ablation of ventricular arrhythmias]. / Utilità dei biomarcatori nella valutazione del danno cardiaco subclinico: H-FABP e ablazione in radiofrequenza delle aritmie ventricolari.

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.
