The increasing use of the electrode catheter in the cardiology laboratory has led to investigations of the electric shock hazard associated with this instrument for the purpose of establishing necessary precautions. These hazards may be markedly reduced by proper equipment design, coupled with proper maintenance, grounding, and laboratory procedures
