Division of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology, Department of Anesthesiology, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY.
The American College of Cardiology, in collaboration with the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, Heart Rhythm Society, Mended Hearts, North American Society for Cardiovascular Imaging, Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, Society for Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, and Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, recently published a consensus document recommending best practices for the use of ionizing radiation in cardiovascular medicine. With the increase in number and complexity of catheter-based cardiovascular interventions, cardiothoracic anesthesiologists are being requested to consult and provide care for these patients. This review summarizes the salient portions of the consensus document as it pertains to the anesthesiologist.

Although the clinical benefit of these procedures is substantial, there is concern about the implications of medical radiation exposure. The American College of Cardiology leadership concluded that it is important to provide practitioners with an educational resource that assembles and interprets the current radiation knowledge base relevant to cardiovascular procedures.
