2 Referral Pacemaker center in Clinical center of Serbia Referral center established 1967 Separate clinic, 12 beds, 10 physicians 1300 IPG, 150 ICD, 180 CRTp/D National registry Official National training center Official international Hands-on training center International Research center President, Nucleus of European Society of Cardiac Pacing 1989 Prof. Goran Milasinovic

3 National Pacemaker Registry 2009 Population in million 7,498,001 Number of implanting centers 16 Total PM implants 3207 Total ICD implants 405 New PM implants 2802 New PM implants in male 1782 New PM implants in female 1020

12 RF ablation 2009 Population in million 7,498,001 Number of centers 3 Total number ~ 750 AF ablation ~ 50

13 Current status Awareness: moderate Referrals: moderate Number of implanters: satisfied Number of implanting centers: satisfied National Pacing society activity: satisfied English speaking cardiology community: satisfied Prof. Goran Milasinovic

14 Current status Single chamber vs. Dual chamber: 50% Primary prevention vs. Secondary: 50% CRTp vs. CRTd: 60-70% - unsatisfied RF ablation: unsatisfied Prof. Goran Milasinovic

15 Obstacles in Arrhythmia treatment in Serbia Current economical situation Centralized tender: price as main issue Reduced budget: no space for last technology State investment vascular cardiology vs. electrophysiology: unsatisfied Lack of trained EPs for RF ablation: (8 EPs for RF ablation vs. 53 pacing implanters Prof. Goran Milasinovic

16 Advantages High volume Referral center with good potential for Research and Hands-on trainings Prof. Goran Milasinovic

17 Potential Solutions for Serbia: TEI Trainings for EPs for RF ablation in European highvolume centers New Equipment for RF ablation: (currently only one el.mapping system in country) Quick-shot -Investment in Primary prevention ICD supply for next 2-3 years (around 400 devices per year): industry or EHRA/ ESC action?
