After 40 years of spectacular technological innovation, catheter ablation has become central to the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, revolutionizing patient care but with no consideration for environmental sustainability. With climate change being the biggest threat to humanity, all stakeholders urgently need to promote more virtuous and circular practices in the catheterization laboratory.
