title: Spanish Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator Registry. Eleventh Official Report of the Spanish Society of Cardiology Electrophysiology and Arrhythmias Section (2014).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We present the results of the Spanish Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator Registry for 2014, as compiled by the Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Section of the Spanish Society of Cardiology.
  
  
  METHODS
  Data collection sheets were voluntarily completed by each implantation team and prospectively sent to the Spanish Society of Cardiology.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The number of reported implantations was 4911 (82% of the estimated total number of implantations). The implantation rate was 106 per million population while the estimated rate was 128. First implantations comprised 72.2%. Data were obtained from 162 hospitals (8 more than in 2013). Most implantations (82%) were performed in men. The mean patient age was 61.8±13.7 years. Most patients showed severe or moderate-to-severe ventricular dysfunction and were in New York Heart Association functional class II. The most frequent cardiac condition was ischemic heart disease, followed by dilated cardiomyopathy. Implantations for primary prevention indications comprised 58.5%. Electrophysiologists performed 85.6% of the implantations.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The 2014 Spanish Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator Registry received information on 82% of the implantations performed in Spain. The number of implantations has increased from previous years and the percentage of implantations for primary prevention indications has increased from the previous year.
