Abstract

Prosedur intervensi kardiologi diketahui memberi radiasi dos yang tinggi kepada pesakit dan kardiologis kerana memerlukan masa fluroskopi yang panjang. Tujuan Kajian ini adalah untuk menentukan radiasi dos yang diterima oleh pesakit dan kardiologis semasa menjalankan prosedur intervensi kardiologi, seperti koronari angiografi (CA), koronari angioplasti (PTCA) dan CA+PTCA. Interventional cardiology (IC) procedures are known to give high radiation doses to patients and cardiologists as they involve long fluoroscopy time. The objective of the study was to determine the dose received by patients and cardiologists during interventional cardiology procedures, such as coronary angiography (CA), percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and CA+PTCA.
