What is the current prevalence, composition, and perception of the Arrhythmia Team in European centers?

Population

48 centres from 18 European countries responding to a Web-based questionnaire regarding the role of the Arrhythmia Team in managing cardiac arrhythmias.

Exposure

Implementation or presence of an Arrhythmia Team (an integrated, multidisciplinary approach)

Outcome

Insight into the role, presence, composition, and perceived helpfulness of the Arrhythmia Team

The Arrhythmia Team is present in less than half of surveyed European centers but is highly regarded and its implementation is widely supported for managing complex arrhythmias.
