While observational studies in the USA and some parts of Western Europe have evaluated the minimal fluoroscopic approach, there are scarce real-world data for this technique and generalisability of outcome in other economic regions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The arrhythmias with as low as reasonably achievable X-ray exposure study is a prospective, observational, multicentre and multinational open-label registry study. Up to 700 patients undergoing catheter ablation for right-sided supraventricular arrhythmias (according to national guidelines) will be enrolled for the routine use of the EnSite Precision 3D mapping system. Participating sites are distributed in 13 countries from Central Eastern Europe, North and South Africa, the Middle East and the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States), with different levels of expertise using minimal fluoroscopic exposure techniques. After electrophysiological procedure, patients will be followed up for 6 months either in-clinic or via telephone interview. Patients will be asked to complete a study questionnaire at enrolment and 6 months after the invasive procedure to assess quality of life changes secondary to the procedure. The study\u2019s primary objective is to describe ionising radiation exposure during catheter ablation when the EnSite Precision 3D mapping system is used in supraventricular tachycardia ablation. The study\u2019s secondary objective is to assess the safety and efficacy of this method. Furthermore, fluoroscopy timing, total procedure time, success rate and complications will be reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was approved by the ethics committee at Mohammed Bin Khalifa Specialist Cardiac Centre (BDF\/R&amp;REC\/2020-504) and the medical ethics committees of all participating sites.
