Launched in 1997 The largest, most comprehensive, outcomes-based cardiovascular patient data repository the U.S. Seven registries
Hospital-Based Registries (Acute coronary syndrome) (For peripheral vascular intervention procedures) (Diagnostic cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention) (Implantable Cardiovascular Defibrillator and leads procedures) (Adult and pediatric congenital treatment procedures)
ACC Outpatient Registry Outpatient cardiovascular care for coronary artery disease, heart failure, hypertension and atrial fibrillation (hospital-based) Diabetes Collaborative Registry Multispecialty Registries (outpatient)
Where Does the Data Come From? More than 2,500 hospitals and 3,500 outpatient providers nationwide participate in the NCDR by providing real-time patient data on specific cardiac conditions.
Over 18 million patient records are included among the seven registries.
