Why the study?
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted electrophysiologists personally and professionally, creating an urgent need for guidance on infection risks, arrhythmia management, procedural triage, and resource conservation.
Provides essential expert consensus guidance for electrophysiologists to safely manage procedures, triage patients, and utilize telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Guides safe EP triage, procedures, and remote care during COVID-19; extends prior consensus to pandemic constraints.
Lakkireddy et al. (2020) conducted a review in COVID-19 and cardiac arrhythmias. Guidance for cardiac electrophysiology was evaluated. This joint society document provides guidance for managing invasive and noninvasive electrophysiology procedures, clinic visits, and cardiac device interrogations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
