Plain-language summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if there can be reduction in the radiation exposure to the cardiologist performing a coronary angiogram via a right radial artery approach by using a lower fluoroscopic pulse rate. Researchers will compare the radiation dose received by the primary operator using an ultra-low fluoroscopic pulse rate of 3.75 frames per second compared to the standard low pulse rate of 7.5 frames per second. Participating operators will wear multiple dosimeters, and the difference of radiation exposure will be measured.
