The World Survey of Cardiac Pacing and Cardioverter Defibrillators is compiled every 4 years with the most recent results being for the calendar year 2005 and demonstrating a significant worldwide increase in the use of this expensive implantable cardiac hardware.The results of the World Survey 2009 have not yet been published.Results available from 2005 show an overall increase in ICD implantations to the extent of greater than 200% in countries such as Australia and the United States of America.
