Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) Survey II: CRT implantation in Europe and in Switzerland.

CONCLUSION: Compared with European CRT recipients, Swiss CRT patients are older, less symptomatic and suffer more often from comorbidities. Although two thirds of the implantations were CRT-defibrillator systems, Swiss patients more often received CRT-pacemaker systems than their European counterparts.
