ICD implantation rates vary widely across Europe. We are delighted to welcome friends and colleagues from the Polish Cardiac Society to explore the issues further. Why are implantation rates so much higher in Poland than here? What is the role of wearable defibrillators and are we using too few? What do current trials tell us about the future of ICDs? Come to this session to find out!
