Data Bank Reporting of Angioplasty

Beginning in 2007, Strong Memorial Hospital began reporting all angioplasty data to the American College of Cardiology - National Cardiovascular Data Registry Data Bank as requested by the Leapfrog Group.

The Leapfrog Group has requested that all hospitals that perform angioplasty join the American College of Cardiology - National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) Data Bank in order to report performance data (American Heart Journal, December 2003: 146(6); 932-934).
