December 2019
Introduction: CRT Survey II was initiated by the European Heart Rhythm Association and the Heart Failure Association, to explore everyday implantation practice of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices in a broad spectrum of hospitals in European Society of Cardiology (ESC) member countries.
Aim: To compare Polish and European procedural practice.
Material And Methods: Procedural details of Polish patients collected in 37 Polish centres ( = 1241 - Poland group) were compared to the patients enrolled throughout Europe ( = 9847 - CRT II Survey group).
INTRODUCTION There are limited data on the impact of ischemic etiology on the clinical status and long‑term prognosis of patients with acute severe heart failure (HF) not associated with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the clinical characteristics, treatment, and 12‑month mortality of patients with acute severe HF not associated with ACS, according to the etiology of HF. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from 112 patients with acute severe HF not associated with ACS were analyzed: 61 patients with ischemic HF and 51 patients with nonischemic HF.

The aim of the study was to assess the incidence and determinants of short- and long-term complications related to implantable ICD and CRT-D.
Methods: We studied 1,105 recipients hospitalized in our center in 2009-2013, followed for a mean of 2.
