About

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks are associated with a subsequent increased risk of death, and an elevation of cardiac enzymes has been measured after defibrillation testing (DFT). The aim of our study was to investigate the association between S-ICD vs T-ICD shocks and acute cardiac damage in humans, as evaluated by means of sensitive and highly specific circulating biomarkers
