To quality-conscious physicians like you, the NCDR® ICD Registry™ is more than the
CMS-mandated data repository for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) procedures.
The 78 percent of participating hospitals that report data on all implantations—regardless
of payer or indication—have made the registry a powerful quality benchmarking tool
for any facility involved in ICD implantation, upgrade, or replacement.
On April 1, 2010, the ICD Registry is expanding its capabilities to
- Capture atrial, ventricular, defibrillator, and left-heart lead data at time
of implant, revision, replacement, or surgical abandonment
- Monitor and report pediatric ICD implantation data to expand the knowledge
base for an important patient population with unique needs at implantation
- ICD/CRT-D generators for primary and secondary prevention
- Update key quality indicators and align its data set more closely with current
guidelines
Access the ICD Registry’s expanded performance data and discover
new answers to empower your treatment decisions.
