Complimentary On-Demand Webcast

Advancements in Fluoro Reduction
for the Electrophysiology Lab

Webcast Format

The webcast is comprised of proceedings from the official Heart Rhythm 2013 satellite symposium, Advancements in Fluoro Reduction for the Electrophysiology Lab that occurred on May 9, 2013 in Denver, Colorado. The presentation format consists of synched audio and HD video, along with the presentation slides, and includes the engaging Q&A and panel discussion sessions.

Activity Description

The quest for innovative solutions that reduce fluoroscopy exposure during complex and non-complex ablations, and enables the achievement of successful procedural outcomes in practice, without compromising safety, is sought by every global practicing electrophysiology professional.

Fluoroscopy exposure to patient, operator, and staff is both a safety and ethical issue; which is why the electrophysiology clinician community seeks state-of-the-art solutions that dramatically reduce fluoroscopy levels in clinical practice.

With the above goal in mind, the faculty of the webcast shares their expert insights through illustrative presentations that review optimal workflows that reduce the use of fluoroscopy for complex and non-complex ablations. The activity also explores the importance of fluoro reduction, including how to engage fellows and attending physicians about reducing fluoro and implementing strategies.
