title: [Quality assurance and cost control in invasive and interventional cardiology].
abstract: We report our experience of Quality Assurance in a Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory of the National Health Service. An attempt was made to apply these criteria to the medical activities as well as to the management and economic aspects of our work. Limits and perspectives of this experience are discussed as a contribution to ongoing debate among cardiologists and public health Authorities.
