Abstract: (72 Views)
Background: The current registry system aims to design a database that can be used for future research as a tool to produce and update new protocols for the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of heart diseases.
Methods: In this hospital-based registry system, established on 27 July 2021, all the adult patients (age ≥18 years old) with signs and symptoms of cardiac diseases under coronary angiography or angioplasty in the cardiac ward of Imam Hossein Hospital of Tehran, Iran were recruited and followed-up until 30 days after discharge in the pilot phase. All data were collected using a researcher-made checklist from face-to-face interviews with patients and their medical records. The data were registered electronically in web-based software. Quality Control (QC) is conducted monthly by the QC team to ensure the documented data's quality.
Results: among 1265 patients under coronary angiography or angioplasty over a year, 97% (n=1198) of them were Iranian, and 991 (73.33%) patients lived in the country's capital, Tehran. About 55% (n=706) of patients were male. The mean age of the total patients was 60.48 ± 12.01 years. 764 (60.39%) patients were diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Of all CAD patients, 32.72% (n=250) and 1.18% (n=9) were premature and very early CAD, respectively. During one year, 22.54% (n=279) and 7.02% (n=87) of patients were under PCI and CABG, respectively.
Conclusion: Since CVDs, especially CADs, are one of the most common and priority diseases in Iran's health system, establishing a coronary angiography and angioplasty registration system is an opportunity to study the epidemiological and clinical process of CVDs in the shape of an accurate registration system.
