Adult cardiac surgery

This project looks at heart operations. Details of who does the operations, the general health of the patients, the nature and outcome of the operation, particularly mortality rates in relation to preoperative risk and major complications are all collected and analysed. More

Ambulance

This database provides ambulance services with data on the outcome of patients with suspected heart attack (myocardial infarction) and cardiac arrest who arrive at hospital by ambulance. The data is supplied from the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) database. More

Cardiac interventions

This project looks at percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures performed in the UK. The audit collects and analyses data on the nature and outcome of PCI procedures, who performs them and the general health of patients. The audit utilises the Central Cardiac Audit Database (CCAD) which has developed secure data collection, analysis and monitoring tools and provides a common infrastructure for all the coronary heart disease audits.

Heart failure

The aim of this project is to improve the quality of care for patients with heart failure through continual audit and to support the implementation of the national service framework for coronary heart disease. More

Heart rhythm management (pacing and implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDS)

This project looks at activity and trends in pacing, ICD and cardiac ablation practice in UK hospitals. Details of the type of procedures performed, who the procedure is performed by, technical success of each type of procedure and outcomes including potential complications is collected and analysed.

Myocardial ischaemia (MINAP)

The Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) was established in 1999 in response to the national service framework (NSF) for coronary heart disease, to examine the quality of management of heart attacks (myocardial infarction) in hospitals in England and Wales. More
