Abstract :
Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels were measured after radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation to evaluate the effect of direct myocardial necrosis on IMA formation. IMA levels have been shown to increase in patients after RF catheter ablation compared with those who undergo diagnostic electrophysiologic studies. The results of this study suggest that IMA may be a marker of myocardial injury.
