Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: This article presents the data corresponding to automated implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implants in Spain reported to the Spanish Registry in 2018. METHODS: The data in this registry include both primary implants and generator replacements and were gathered from a data collection sheet voluntarily completed by implantation centers. RESULTS: In 2018, 6421 implant sheets were received compared with 7077 reported by Eucomed (European Confederation of Medical Suppliers Associations). This represents data on 90.7% of the devices implanted in Spain. Compliance ranged between 99.6% for the field "name of the implanting hospital" and 12.4% for "population of residence". A total of 173 hospitals reported their data to the registry, representing a slight decrease compared with hospitals participating in 2017 (n=181). CONCLUSIONS: After the reduction in ICD implants in 2017, the number of implants increased in 2018, with the highest number of ICDs implanted in Spain. The total number of implants remains much lower than the European Union average, with substantial differences between autonomous communities.
