ACC Launches NCDR Electrophysiology Device Implant Registry
Formerly the ICD Registry, the new EP name reflects expanded offerings and aligns with other quality programs
The new ACC Electrophysiology (EP) Device Implant Registry, part of the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) will include data on implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) procedures previously captured in the NCDR ICD Registry, as well as provide the flexibility to capture novel pacemaker procedures. The registry is aligned with the ACC’s Electrophysiology Accreditation program, fully supporting the program’s data requirements.
April 2, 2021 — Today, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) launched the Electrophysiology (EP) Device Implant Registry as part of its National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR). The NCDR is the ACC’s suite of cardiovascular data registries helping hospitals and private practices measure and improve the quality of care they provide based on data comparisons.
