- The opportunity to ensure all patients have access to guideline-recommended care is not only imperative, but life-saving for patients across the world.
- Each year one million CIEDs are implanted worldwide [4] (which include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization devices).
