Contemporary use of devices in chronic heart failure in the Netherlands
ConclusionsIn this large Dutch HF registry, less than half of the patients with reduced LVEF received an ICD or CRT, even if LVEF was ≤30%, and a large variation between centres existed. Patients from implantation centres had more often ICD or CRT. More uniformity regarding guideline‐based use of device therapy in clinical practice is needed.
