Conventional catheter ablation relies on X-ray fluoroscopy to visualise intracardiac catheters, exposing patients and staff to ionising radiation. In recent years, integration of three-dimensional ...

Electrophysiology (EP) procedures are crucial in diagnosing and treating various heart rhythm disorders. They involve a doctor placing thin catheters into the heart to assess its electrical activity.

Cardiovascular diseases rank among the top causes of death across the world, and cardiac interventions are similarly very common. For example, cardiac catheter ablation procedures, which are used to ...

The procedure used to treat arrhythmias typically allows for a short recovery time, but precautions are necessary to preserve healthy heart function. Heart ablation creates little scars on heart ...

Cardiac catheterization and angiograms are medical procedures that allow doctors to examine the inside of the heart and arteries. However, there are some differences between the two. Cardiac ...

For the first time ever, wireless millirobots navigated a narrow blood vessel both along and against arterial flow. Researchers from the University of Twente and Radboudumc inserted the screw-shaped ...

McLaren Port Huron has completed a $2.1 million renovation of its electrophysiology lab, expanding access to advanced cardiac ...

Nine leading medical societies are calling for updated safety standards in fluoroscopy laboratories, often called "cath labs," where clinicians performing minimally invasive procedures face radiation ...
