“…That percentage is significantly higher (almost twice) than the value reported in another similar survey conducted in European countries several years ago [9]. At the same time, that observation confirms a previously recognized increasing tendency of Polish cardiologists to qualify patients for S-ICD devices in primary prevention [7]. Over 65% of S-ICD implantations in Poland are performed for primary prevention, and that data is in conformity with other reports concerning the European population [10].…”

“…Despite the growing evidence of non-inferiority of S-ICD compared to T-ICD in terms of complication rate and risk of inappropriate interventions, there are no clear clinical guidelines for selection of either of the two available implantable defibrillator systems [3,4]. S-ICDs have been implanted in Poland since 2014 [5,6], but the number of implantations has increased significantly in only just the last 3 years [7]. Despite legal regulations, the decision to choose S-ICD or T-ICD is made by the implanting cardiologist on an individual basis for each patient [8].…”

“…The median MLHFQ total score was 24 (9-41) for S-ICD and 28 (14-43) for TV-ICD (P = 0.83). For the mental and physical dimensions, the median score was 6 (1-12) and 8.5 (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) for S-ICD, respectively, where-as for TV-ICD: 5 (1-10) and 12 (6-17) (S-ICD vs. TV-ICD: P = 0.50 and P = 0.65).…”

“…In 2014, the first implantation of the S-ICD was performed in Poland; from then until 2021, approximately 450 S-ICD implantations were performed in Poland, and a few thousand worldwide [ 27 29 ]. Patients with contraindications to transvenous electrode implantation are qualified for implantation of the S-ICD.…”
