Comments
This measure belongs to a suite of Cardiac Care quality indicators (CCQI) that provided pan-Canadian comparable information on outcomes related to selected cardiac interventions. The goal was to support monitoring and quality improvement in cardiac care. Results for 2020–2021 are the last that will be published for this measure.
More information on the CCQI Report is available on our Cardiac Care web page.
