What is the current clinical practice regarding patient selection, implantation, and follow-up for CRT devices across Europe?
The CRT Survey II is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of current European clinical practice regarding CRT implantation, patient selection, and follow-up to enable national and international benchmarking.
The Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Survey II is a 6 months snapshot survey initiated by two ESC Associations, the European Heart Rhythm Association and the Heart Failure Association, which is designed to describe clinical practice regarding implantation of CRT devices in a broad sample of hospitals in 47 ESC member countries. The large volume of clinical and demographic data collected should reflect current patient selection, implantation, and follow-up practice and provide information relevant for assessing healthcare resource utilization in connection with CRT. The findings of this survey should permit representative benchmarking both nationally and internationally across Europe.
