Contemporary trends in cardiac electrophysiology procedures in the United States, and impact of a global pandemic

Figures

• 

  Figure 1. Trend in number of electrophysiology (EP) studies and ablations vs cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations per 100,000 Medicare beneficiaries in the years 2013–2020.

• 

  Figure 2. Trend in percentage of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) procedures vs non-PVI procedures for all electrophysiology studies (EPSs) or ablations in the years 2013–2020.

• 

  Figure 3. Trends in number of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), and ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation procedures per 100,000 Medicare beneficiaries in the years 2013–2020.

• 

  Figure 4. Trend in number of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) vs permanent pacemakers (PPMs) per 100,000 Medicare beneficiaries in the years 2013–2020. These trends of PPM and ICD do not sum into the cardiac implantable electronic device procedural group, as there are other procedures within this group (ie, nonspecific lead changes).
