Implication

Geographic disparities and ICD underuse may signal inequitable access; leaves open whether contemporary practice has improved since 2005.

Structured PICO

Population

European patients receiving pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, based on data from the registry of the European Heart Rhythm Association

Intervention

Implantation of pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices (CRT-P and CRT-D)

Outcome

Implant rates of pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices per million population

European registry data from 2005 highlights significant geographic heterogeneity and overall underuse of ICDs and CRT devices compared to epidemiological expectations.
