Transcatheter radiofrequency current application in patients with cardiac arrhythmias was reported to be associated with a low rate of an increase in the activity of enzyme creatine kinase (CK) and CK-MB isoenzyme. As the novel heart-specific protein troponin T (cTnT) was shown to be superior to CK...
