Abstract

Introduction: Physician burnout is a common problem across the field of medicine, resulting in significant negative personal and work-related consequences. We set out to explore the prevalence of burnout in cardiac electrophysiologists (EPs).

Methods: A national registry of EPs (N = 112) was sent a two-item questionnaire, established and validated to assess the experience of Burnout. In total, 51 EPs completed the questionnaire from 2020 to 2023.

Results: 36% of the sampled cardiac electrophysiologists reported burnout, and 26% reported feelings of callousness.

Conclusion: This significant number of EPs experiencing symptoms of burnout underscores the critical need for enhanced focus on the EP workforce.
