Serum cardiac markers response to biphasic and monophasic electrical cardioversion for supraventricular tachyarrhythmia-a randomised study

According to our study, electrical cardioversion for SVTs is not associated with biochemical signs of myocardial injury. Application of CE > 150 J can be followed by CK and myoglobin elevation most likely due to skeletal muscle damage. This reaction is more pronounced in MP than in BP cardioversion.
