Cardiac resynchronization therapy in the Czech Republic – Data from the EHRA CRT Survey II multicenter registry

ConclusionThe second CRT registry is a valuable source of information on current clinical practices, indications, and results regarding this invasive heart failure therapy. Comparisons of data derived from the Czech Republic with the other ESCMS data set showed that the Czech Republic is among the top 10 countries with respect to the number of procedures, implantation success, and low complication rates. However, use of telemonitoring systems is rather low compared to the European average. A significant number of patients were indicated for CRT based on indications not covered by the Class I of the current recommendations (i.e., those with the best evidence).
