It sounds that you may have had an event. Most hospitals would usually admit and observe for any further rises in either troponin I, CK or CK-MB. If you passed out this could have been an atypical symptom of coronary artery disease. I would recommend that you see a cardiologist in the near future.

It would probably help the doctors to know that you were already at the hospital visiting a patient when you passed out due to being dizzy upon leaving. Your friends took you down to the ER and they checked you out and did this blood test and discharged you without any follow up information. Also, you have a history of an ablation due to a rapid heart rate.

These details should help him provide you a better answer.

Good luck!
