Reducing the Rate of Serious Adverse Events in the Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory From 2% to 1%
07/25/2024
It is unrealistic to expect zero complications from an invasive procedure. It is also important to learn that trying to lower the rate of serious adverse events from 2% to 1% in the EP lab can require much more than twice the effort.
