Overview
A multi-site, multi-modality prospective observational clinical outcomes study focussed on the development of phenotype-dirven risk prediction modelling in patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease.
Description
The Cardiovascular Imaging Registry of Canada (CIROC) was conceived to provide a common standardized architecture for the collection of clinically reported imaging biomarkers, demographic information, resource utilization and clinical outcomes among patients referred to non-invasive cardiac imaging. The Registry was designed to assess the feasibility of implementing personalized care strategies through automated high quality data collection and patient engagement.
The CIROC Registry was launched with inaugural focus on Cardiac MRI base phenotyping, however has evolved to encompass cardiac CTA and echocardiography. Clinically referred patients are engaged by automated, tablet-based tools to collect informed consent and deploy standardized patient health assessments. Standardized reporting of disease features are captured using bespoke reporting tools. All patients are prospectively followed for a period of 10-years using linkage to administrative health data, inclusive of ICD-coded events, laboratory test results, ECG and vital statistics.
