A pacemaker (PM) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) survey was undertaken in Australia (Au) and New Zealand (NZ) for 2005.
Compared to the 2001 survey, significant increases in implantation numbers were recorded. For 2005, the total new PMs implanted was 11,850 in Au (9498 in 2001) and 1134 in NZ (914 in 2001). The number of new PM implants per million population was 590 in Au (486 in 2001) and 275 in NZ (245 in 2001). Biventricular PMs were documented for the first time with 461 implants in Au and 16 in NZ. Pulse generator types were predominantly dual chamber with 73% in Au (70% in 2001) and 51% in NZ (54% in 2001). Pacing leads were overwhelmingly transvenous and bipolar with an increase in the use of active fixation leads in preference to tined leads. There was a marked increase in the use of ICDs with 2864 new implants in Au (956 in 2001) and 134 in NZ (86 in 2001). The new ICD implants per million population were 142 in Au (49 in 2001) and 33 in NZ (23 in 2001). ICDs were 35% biventricular in Au and 10% in NZ. The Au Northern Territory is included for the first time.
2005年在澳大利亚（Au）和新西兰（NZ）开展了一项起搏器（PM）和植入式心脏复律除颤器（ICD）调查。
与2001年的调查相比，植入数量有显著增加。2005年，澳大利亚新植入的PM总数为11,850例（2001年为9498例），新西兰为1134例（2001年为914例）。澳大利亚每百万人口中新植入PM的数量为590例（2001年为486例），新西兰为275例（2001年为245例）。首次记录到双心室PM，澳大利亚植入461例，新西兰植入16例。脉冲发生器类型主要为双腔，澳大利亚为73%（2001年为70%），新西兰为51%（2001年为54%）。起搏导线绝大多数为经静脉和双极型，与有倒刺导线相比，主动固定导线的使用有所增加。ICD的使用有显著增加，澳大利亚新植入2864例（2001年为956例），新西兰为134例（2001年为86例）。澳大利亚每百万人口中新植入ICD的数量为142例（2001年为49例），新西兰为33例（2001年为23例）。澳大利亚ICD的双心室比例为35%，新西兰为10%。澳大利亚北部地区首次被纳入调查。
