Participating hospitals submit patient-level data to the registry, which supports quality improvement initiatives and the development of clinical guidelines for improved patient care. The video explains the need for left atrial appendage closures due to the prevalence of atrial fibrillation and the risk of stroke. It also discusses the registry's role in facilitating data collection, event adjudication, and providing feedback to hospitals.
