In Scandinavia AV-conduction disturbance and/or a ventricular pacing indication was a more common indication for CRT, suggesting adaptation of the most recent guidelines ahead of their publication. A test shock was almost never performed, in agreement with recent scientific evidence. CRT-P was more often used, the procedures seem more centralized and quadripolar leads were preferred.
