A database of implantable pacemakers (PM) has been in
existence since the late 1970s. Implantable defibrillators (ICD),a
treatment modality to prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD) were added to the

audit also records the use of implantable monitoring devices (LOOP).
By 2007 over 500,000 total devices have been recorded, making this one of the largest, and certainly, the longest running audit in modern cardiology.
ICD therapy has been the subject of two NICE reviews, each recommending widespread adoption of the therapy.
