Hospitalization profiles and complications across ICD and CRT-D implantations in Germany: data from the VIDEO study

1

The VIDEO Study analyzed hospitalization patterns and complications in patients receiving ICD and CRT-D implantations across 13 centers in Germany.
2

A total of 2,001 patients were included, with 815 receiving single-chamber ICDs, 463 dual-chamber ICDs, and 723 CRT-D devices.
3

CRT-D patients were significantly older and had higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and chronic renal disease compared to those receiving ICDs.
4

The study found that dual-chamber ICD recipients had a higher prevalence of psychological disorders and a history of sudden cardiac arrest.
5

Understanding hospitalization parameters is crucial for optimizing device selection and peri-procedural management in electrophysiology and cardiology.
