Portuguese National Registry on Cardiac Electrophysiology, 2021 and 2022
Introduction and objectives
We present the results of the national cardiac electrophysiology registry of the Portuguese Association of Arrhythmology, Pacing and Electrophysiology (APAPE) and the Portuguese Institute of Cardiac Rhythm for 2021 and 2022.
Methods
Data were collected from 26 electrophysiology centers registered with APAPE using an online digital platform. Data collection included information on human and technological resources, electrophysiological studies, ablations performed, atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, and ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation procedures.
Results
In the 26 centers, 4491 ablations were performed in 2021 and 4968 ablations in 2022. AF ablation was the most frequently performed procedure: 1673 ablations in 2021 and 1994 in 2022, 70% paroxysmal AF, with clinically relevant complications was reported in 1.2–1.5% of the procedures. VT ablation was performed in 294 patients in 2021 (45% with structural disease), and in 331 in 2022 (42% with structural disease). Clinically relevant complications were reported in 2.7–2.4% of the procedures (2021 and 2022, respectively).
Conclusions
In Portugal, the number of cardiac electrophysiology procedures is on the rise, but it has not reached the levels expected based on European Society of Cardiology data. AF ablation is the most common procedure, accounting for 37% in 2021 and 40% in 2022. VT ablation is still low. Additionally, cardioneuroablation and Brugada syndrome ablation are gaining importance at several Portuguese centers.
期刊介绍:
The Portuguese Journal of Cardiology, the official journal of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology, was founded in 1982 with the aim of keeping Portuguese cardiologists informed through the publication of scientific articles on areas such as arrhythmology and electrophysiology, cardiovascular surgery, intensive care, coronary artery disease, cardiovascular imaging, hypertension, heart failure and cardiovascular prevention. The Journal is a monthly publication with high standards of quality in terms of scientific content and production. Since 1999 it has been published in English as well as Portuguese, which has widened its readership abroad. It is distributed to all members of the Portuguese Societies of Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Pneumology and Cardiothoracic Surgery, as well as to leading non-Portuguese cardiologists and to virtually all cardiology societies worldwide. It has been referred in Medline since 1987.
