Impact of sex on the utilization of defibrillation-capable cardiac implantable devices and outcome: results from the German device registry

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillation-function (CRT-D) are widely used in patients with life-threatening arrhythmias or heart failure. We aim to investigate the impact of sex-specific differences on defibrillation-capable cardiac dev...

Description
Summary:Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillation-function (CRT-D) are widely used in patients with life-threatening arrhythmias or heart failure. We aim to investigate the impact of sex-specific differences on defibrillation-capable cardiac devices’ implantation and outcomes.
