Video Summary

The CATH PCI Registry is a tool used to collect data on patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who undergo diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization procedures. Participating hospitals submit patient-level data quarterly, which is used to provide feedback and improve patient outcomes through evidence-based guidelines. The registry also serves as a source of data for comparative effectiveness research. It has been widely adopted by hospitals and includes over 13 million diagnostic and 9 million PCI records. The registry supports quality improvement efforts, informs clinical practice and guideline development, and can be used for accreditation and public reporting. It is governed by a steering committee that provides oversight and strategic direction. <br /><br />(95 words)
