Cardiac electronic implantable devices: A call for a new coding system

Over the last decades, cardiac electronic implantable devices (CEID) have incorporated a myriad of technological capabilities that are not conveniently inferred by using the conventional ICHD and NBG coding systems. We propose a new coding system (i.e., the C-ARL-A coding system) aimed at overcoming this important limitation.

Automated summary

In the past decades, cardiac electronic implantable devices (CEID) have evolved with numerous technological capabilities, not easily captured by conventional coding systems like ICHD and NBG. To address this limitation, we propose a new coding system, the C-ARL-A coding system.
