Background To exposure in patients undergoing cardiac electrophysiology (EP) ablation.
This included the use of a “very low” dose protocol, and the impact of angulations and …

Fluoroscopy is still the main imaging technology used by electrophysiologists to perform
atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures, which are increasing in number and complexity …

Aims Fluoroscopy remains a cornerstone imaging technique in contemporary
electrophysiology practice. We evaluated the impact of collimation to the 'minimal required …

Introduction Expert societies recently published strong recommendations to reduce the
exposure of patients and staff to ionizing radiation (IR) during interventional and …

Background Despite their carcinogenic potential, X-rays remain indispensable for
electrophysiologic (EP) procedures. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the …

BACKGROUND: Electrophysiology (EP) procedures have been reported to carry a
significantly greater radiation risk than that of coronary angiography (CA). This is largely due …

Background Electrophysiology procedures require fluoroscopic guidance, with the
associated potentially adverse effects of ionizing radiation. Newer fluoroscopy systems have …
