Abstract

After the 2009 publication of Building a Heart Healthy Canada, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society was commissioned to address a long-standing information gap related to the compatibility and comparability of data on the quality of cardiovascular care in Canada. Through collaboration between the Canadian Institute for Health Information, the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, the Public Health Agency of Canada, and 5 regional cardiovascular registries, 2 committees were tasked with developing standardized cardiovascular data definitions and quality indicators. The work culminated in national consensus on the definitions of 55 patient, disease, and therapeutic variables (core and optional) to facilitate cardiovascular care comparisons within and across Canada. Supplemental data definition chapters were then developed on acute coronary syndrome and coronary angiography/revascularization, with chapters on heart failure and atrial fibrillation electrophysiology to follow. This foundational work led to a critical appraisal of cardiac quality indicator development initiatives via the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) Quality Indicator tool, followed by the development of quality indicator cata...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
