Can we make heart procedures safer by tracking X-Ray doses?
NCT ID NCT06507085
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This study aims to establish national reference levels for radiation exposure during X-ray guided procedures to correct heart rhythm disorders, such as pacemaker insertions and ablations. Researchers will collect radiation dose data from over 4,000 adult patients undergoing these procedures across multiple centers. The goal is to define standard benchmarks that can help hospitals monitor and reduce radiation exposure, improving safety for patients and staff.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Radiation exposure during X-ray guided heart rhythm procedures
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish national safety benchmarks for radiation doses in heart rhythm procedures, helping to minimize patient exposure and improve procedural safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't test a new treatment. The results may vary across centers and technologies, and setting benchmarks doesn't directly change outcomes.
