In the third in the series of videos to mark the launch of Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, RadcliffeCardiology.com in association with the European Heart Rhythm Association and doctors.net.uk, presents Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Round Table - 3, Approaches to Ablation Part 2: Radioprotection.
In this video, the Round Table discusses radioprotection, and highlights that despite being in an era of non-fluoroscopic, electroanatomic mapping techniques, physicians must still take appropriate measures to reduce radiation dose - for both their patients, and themselves.
