Brief Summary:
The European CRT survey represents a joint initiative between two ESC associations; the Heart Failure Association and the European Heart Rhythm Association. The survey will be performed in collaboration with The Institute für Herzinfarktforschung in Ludwigshafen which will handle the data collection and data analysis.
Detailed Description:
This European CRT Survey was initiated by the Heart Failure Association (HFA) and the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) of the ESC in order to describe current European practice and routines associated with CRT-P/CRT-D implantations based on sample of patients enrolled in 13 countries. The data collected following implantation provides information including clinical characteristics, diagnostic criteria, implantation routines and techniques, adverse experience, and assessment of adherence to guideline recommendations. The single follow-up visit at 1 year (9-15 months) will provide information regarding short-term clinical outcomes.
The primary objective of this Survey is to describe current European practice based on a broad sampling in 13 countries. The information collected will enable practice between centres and countries to be compared and permit benchmarking with national and international practice. The survey provides valuable quality assurance assessment for individual centres, permits limited economic analyses and broadly evaluates adherence to guideline recommendations.
The following 13 European countries contributed patients to the survey: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and UK. Two national coordinators, one each from the fields of heart failure and electrophysiology, were selected and given the responsibility to facilitate recruitment in their respective countries.
