The fields of interventional cardiology and electrophysiology were developed based on the use of fluoroscopic guidance. With time, there has been a significant increase in the number of pathologies treatable by interventional approaches, and the number, complexity and the availability of these procedures have likewise increased, resulting in greater radiation exposure to patients, physicians and allied health professionals. In parallel, different navigational systems have successfully been developed to attempt to decrease radiation exposure. The current paper aims to survey these medical advances and explore past and present radiation exposures in the cardiovascular space.
