Title:          Regional disparity on patient characteristics and perceptions after implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation: results from an EHRA patient survey
Subject:        DOI: 10.1093/europace/euad110; Europace, 25, 5.; Abstract:  Aims: The aim of this study was to identify potential regional disparities in characteristics of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) recipients, patient perceptions and perspectives after implantation and level of information provided to patients. Methods and results: The prospective, multicentre, and multinational European Heart Rhythm Association patient Survey ‘Living with an ICD’ included patients already implanted with an ICD (median ICD dwell time – 5 years, interquartile range 2–10). An online questionnaire was filled-in by patients invited from 10 European countries. A total of 1809 patients (the majority in their 40s to 70s, 65.5% men) were enrolled, with 877 (48.5%) from Western Europe (group 1), followed by 563 from Central/Eastern Europe (group 2, 31.1%), and 369 from Southern Europe (group 3, 20.4%). A total of 52.9% of Central/Eastern Europe patients reported increased satisfaction after IC
