A member asked:
Does an ep study/ablation expose the patient to an excessive amount of radiation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: In fact many of the EP procedures we perform involve NO exposure to radiation at all. We use electromagnetic mapping and catheter manipulation rather than Radiation for catheter manipulation and positioning.
