Structured PICO

Population

All consecutive patients resident in Emilia-Romagna, Italy, who underwent a first implant of a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device in years 2006-2010.

Intervention

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation, with (CRT-D) or without defibrillation (CRT-P) capabilities

Outcome

Implant rates of CRT devices and proportion of prevalent heart failure patients receiving CRT

Despite an increase in CRT implantations over time, real-world adoption remains low and highly variable among heart failure patients.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Low CRT uptake persists in HF despite rising implants; leaves open research on adoption barriers.
