The American College of Cardiology will partner with the ACC Mexico Chapter, in collaboration with both the Sociedad Mexicana de Cardiología and the Asociación Nacional de Cardiólogos de México, to establish a registry network in Mexico that is aligned with the ACC's PINNACLE Registry.
The ACC and the leadership of the Mexican societies signed a Memorandum of Understanding during the annual meeting of the Sociedad Mexicana de Cardiología on Nov. 22, 2015. Mexico became the fourth country outside of the United States to partner with the PINNACLE Registry, including India, Brazil and Argentina.
This is the first step in expanding any and all of the National Cardiovascular Data Registry's suite of cardiovascular data registries into Mexico and creating the potential to study patients, as well as the state of cardiovascular disease and care in the country. The registries help hospitals and clinical practices measure and improve the quality of care.
The PINNACLE Registry is an outpatient quality improvement registry that captures data on coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart failure, diabetes and atrial fibrillation.
Engaging with the global cardiovascular community is a vital part of the ACC's mission to transform care and improve heart health around the world. The ACC is committed to working with its chapter in Mexico to increase awareness and prevention among patients and providers. The science and findings from the Mexico PINNACLE registry will allow the cardiovascular community to better understand disease burden worldwide.
