INTRODUCTION: This report presents data on implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implants performed in Spain in 2024. METHODS: The registry is based on information submitted by centers after device implantation to the Heart Rhythm Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology through the online national registry platform (CardioDispositivos). Additional data sources included: a) submissions from manufacturing and marketing companies; b) local databases provided by ICD-implanting centers; and c) the ICD Technical Report. Implantation rates were calculated using population data from the National Institute of Statistics. RESULTS: In 2024, 203 hospitals participated in the registry. A total of 8793 devices were reported, compared with 8975 reported by Eucomed (European Confederation of Medical Suppliers Associations). The overall rate was 186 implants/million population, representing an increase compared with previous years. Marked differences among the autonomous communities persisted, and Spain continued to have the lowest implantation rate of all European countries participating in Eucomed. CONCLUSIONS: The 2024 registry reflects virtually all ICD implants performed in Spain. Despite the improvement observed in implantation rates, Spain's position in Europe remains unchanged, as do the large differences among its autonomous communities.
