Details
The cardiovascular disease profiles have been updated by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID).
The profiles provide an overview of data on cardiovascular and cardiovascular related conditions of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease. They are intended to help commissioners and health professionals assess the impact of cardiovascular disease (CVD) on their local population, make decisions about services and improve outcomes for patients.
Correction: An error in the percentage of stroke admissions with history of atrial fibrillation not prescribed anticoagulation was identified in the December 2021 update of the CVD Profiles. An import error led to a reversal of the percentage display of the anticoagulation indicator. The impact was for all geographies where the indicator was available. The data has now been corrected and replaced on Fingertips.
The cardiovascular disease profiles are one of a range of data and analysis resources produced by OHID’s National Cardiovascular Intelligence Network (NCVIN).
NVCIN has released a range of cardiovascular disease guidance, data and intelligence resources.
