The conference of the ‘Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator for Life’ Initiative—Fighting against Sudden Cardiac Death in Emerging Economies was jointly organized by the European Heart Rhythm Association and the Hungarian Society of Cardiology.The aim of the summit was to demonstrate the benefit and efficacy of the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Sudden cardiac death is responsible for a significant number of deaths at an annual level and it is the leading cause of death in industrial countries. Many arrhythmias could be treated by means of device therapy and this would also reduce the death rates. The target of the summit was to build bridges between medical, political, and industrial sectors to procure greater political and economic care and support for the primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death, heart failure, and arrhythmias.The number of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantations has increased enormously in the recent years based on the proven efficacy of implantable devices in the treatment of heart failure and heart rhythm disturbances. However, many patients with high risk of SCD still do not undergo ICD implantation. The reason is partly economic, and partly due to the lack of public awareness and the lack of qualified specialists. The conference emphasized that both the theoretical background of device therapy—professional recommendations, choice of implantable devices, programming, and problem solving—and the practical education of implantation methods are important to increase the implantation rates. The paradoxity of the effort to reduce SCD in economies in transition is that there is a high prevalence of high-risk patients on one side and actual implant rates both for primary and secondary prevention are disproportially low.The summit attempted to reflect regional disparities, their political, economic, financial, and, last but not least, educational background through a series of lectures held by the representatives of countries …
