INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: We present the results of the Spanish Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator Registry for 2014, as compiled by the Electrophysiology and @entity943 Section of the Spanish Society of Cardiology. METHODS: Data collection sheets were voluntarily completed by each implantation team and prospectively sent to the Spanish Society of Cardiology. RESULTS: The number of reported implantations was 4911 (82% of the estimated total number of implantations). The implantation rate was 106 per million population while the estimated rate was 128. First implantations comprised 72.2%. Data were obtained from 162 hospitals (8 more than in 2013). Most implantations (82%) were performed in @entity1 . The mean @entity1 age was 61.8  13.7 years. Most @entity1 showed severe or moderate-to-severe @entity67 and were in New York Heart Association functional class II. The most frequent @entity299 was @entity741 , followed by @entity384 . Implantations for primary prevention indications comprised 58.5%. Electrophysiologists performed 85.6% of the implantations. CONCLUSIONS: The 2014 Spanish Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator Registry received information on 82% of the implantations performed in Spain. The number of implantations has increased from previous years and the percentage of implantations for primary prevention indications has increased from the previous year.
