Three national heart attack registries are being combined into one registry, and the Duke Clinical Research Institute will play a leading role in the new registry which will be called the "National Cardiovascular Data Registry-Acute Coronary Treatment and Intervention Outcomes Network Registry." Duke cardiologists, Matthew Roe, M.D. and Eric Peterson, M.D. will serve as PIs for the new registry.
"Duke cardiologists were instrumental in the conception and implementation of one the three participating registries, known as CRUSADE. Started five years ago, this registry involves more than 500 hospitals in the United States and has collected clinical data on close to 200,000 patients.
The two other registries joining the collaboration are the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction, supported by Genentech, and the National Cardiovascular Data Registry, supported by American College of Cardiology Foundation.
Each of the three registries has collected detailed data on how patients with acute coronary syndrome were being treated in U.S. hospitals, with the goal helping hospitals stay current with the latest scientific findings."
KUDOS on the collaboration!
