Background The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) are well-established and essential therapeutic pillars for patients with heart failure and survivors of sudden cardiac death. The number of young patients receiving ICD or CRT-D has been increasing in the last decades. Understanding the key differences between the typically older ICD population and younger patients is paramount to optimized patient care. Methods The DEVICE registry prospectively enrolled patients undergoing ICD/CRT implantation or revision from 50 German centers between 2007–2014. Data on patient characteristics, procedural outcome, adverse events and mortality during the initial stay and follow-up was collected. All patients under the age of 45 years were identified and included into a comparative analysis with the remaining population. Results A total number of 4181 patients were enrolled into the registry, of which 236 patients (5.6%) were under the age of 45 years. Median age was 38.0 [31.0; 42.0] vs. 69.0 [60.0; 75.0] years, p Conclusion Rates for procedural complications and in-hospital mortality were very low and without differences between both age groups. However younger patients experienced a higher rate of postoperative complications requiring revision and had higher readmission rates for cardiac reasons, potentially due to a more active lifestyle. |
