Radiation Exposure and Adverse Health Effects of Interventional Cardiology Staff
Coronary angiography (CA), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), catheter-based structural heart intervention, electrophysiological studies, and arrhythmia ablation are procedures that help cardiologists ensure better clinical diagnosis and treatment (Dawkins et al. 2005). During these procedures, catheters, guide wires, and other devices are visualized and guided by using real-time fluoroscopy. Therefore, operators are inevitably exposed to radiation (Kim and Miller 2009). Compared to other departments (radiology, urology, operating rooms, etc.), the cardiovascular or catheterization laboratory is generally considered to be an area of high radiation exposure (Raza 2011). Interventional cardiology (IC) staff is exposed more radiation per year than are radiologists by a factor of two to three (Picano et al. 2007). Invasive cardiology procedures have increased tenfold in the past decade, and growth in the field has been accompanied by concern for the safety of such staff (Picano et al. 2007).
