ResumoAimsPrevious studies have reported the defibrillation testing during implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation is associated with elevated cardiac biomarkers and ST-segment electrocardiogram (ECG) changes suggesting that shocks during testing may cause harm. However, the effects of testing have not been isolated from the implant procedure itself, where lead deployment may cause myocardial damage. This prospective study examined high sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) levels and ECG changes during ICD implanting alone, ICD implantation with testing and device testing as a stand-alone procedure.
