Description

SCAI Leaders—Dr. David Rizik, Dr. James Hermiller, Dr. Andrew Klein, and Dr. Islam Abudayyeh—explore the significant hazards faced by interventional cardiologists in the catheterization lab (CCL), including radiation exposure, orthopedic injuries, and the physical and psychological stress associated with the profession. They also emphasize the moral imperative to improve workplace safety, advocating for systemic changes that prioritize physician well-being, enhance long-term career sustainability, and ultimately improve patient care.Read the related JSCAI article: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jscai.2024.102493
