Do we differ in terms of indications and demographics in cardiac resynchronisation recipients in Poland? Insights from the European CRT Survey II Registry.

CONCLUSIONS: The population of CRT recipients in Poland and other European countries did not differ in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics. In most cases, indications for CRT were in accordance with the guidelines; however some devices were implanted in patients beyond the guideline recommendations. For these procedures, the decision regarding CRT im-plantation relies mainly on the physicians' experience.
