Post cryoablation

[MalcolmCClark]

I had my ablation on Friday 16th Dec 2022.Everything went fine but I was on the operating table for about 5 hours.

I have a narrowing in my oesophagus so access was difficult.

Anyway I had bad chest pains on the Monday night so went to A&E where I had blood tests which found I had a rising Cardiac Troponin level of 643 then 665.

The doctor was amazed at how high the levels were.

This would normally indicate a patient having had a heart attack.

Can I ask is this normal to have such high Troponin levels 4 days post ablation?

My ECGs were normal sinus rythmn with the occasional blip.

I would appreciate some feed back as the high Troponin levels have me scared.

Hi. I ended up in A&E five days after my ablation as I was feeling dreadful. My troponin was also really high but the Cardiologist there(and my own later) confirmed it was normal post-ablation due to the inflammatory response the procedure provokes.

Your heart has been seriously assaulted by the ablation so will show distress. If you have not already please read the following.
