A hands-on guide for the reduction or elimination of fluoroscopy during the mapping and catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and electroanatomic mapping (EAM). Includes a library of 50 videos, and discusses general low- or zero-fluoro principles that are applicable across ICE and EAM platforms.
