Video Summary

The EP Device Implant Registry is a national resource that helps hospitals improve care for patients receiving implantable cardiac devices. It collects standardized data on patient characteristics, procedures, treatments, and outcomes to support quality improvement, benchmarking, research, and guideline development. The registry began as the ICD Registry in 2006 to support CMS coverage for primary-prevention ICDs, and it has since expanded to include pediatric implants, lead procedures, leadless pacemakers, and conduction system pacing such as His bundle and left bundle branch pacing. It captures both primary and secondary prevention ICD/CRT-D cases, along with generator changes, explants, and lead revisions. The registry is especially important because it addresses high-risk conditions like heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac arrest. Participating organizations use registry reports and dashboards to compare performance, monitor outcomes, identify improvement opportunities, and support patient-centered cardiovascular care.
