NICOR's LAAO Registry is growing - nearly 150 cases submitted from 13 centres between April - September 2025, up on the same period last year, with very low complication rates. But not all hospitals offering LAAO have registered with the registry yet. nicor.org.uk/interactive-rep…

📊Nearly 750 PFOC cases recorded April - September 2025, with very low complication rates. But notable variations in procedure technique - particularly imaging choices - are leading to significant differences in X-ray doses between centres nicor.org.uk/percutaneous-fo…

NICOR’s latest cardiac rhythm data highlights increasing use of AF ablation and growing uptake of pulsed-field ablation. However, adoption of conduction system pacing remains inconsistent, and timely CIED data submission is still a challenge: nicor.org.uk/interactive-rep…

Elective cardiac surgery waiting times in England have been falling📉 Average waits are now just over 100 days and complication rates remain low. NICOR's NCAP Interim Reports show where progress is being made and where more work is needed🫀 nicor.org.uk/interactive-rep… #heartsurgery

New NICOR data shows patients from more deprived areas are less likely to receive TAVI heart valve treatment and more likely to be in a serious condition when they do. The issue isn't the procedure; it's access to treatment. Read the latest TAVI report: nicor.org.uk/interactive-rep…

New NHS data shows more people are arriving by car rather than ambulance. Treatment times are longer for those who self-present, and that can affect outcomes. Ambulances start treatment on the way🚑 Every minute counts⏱️ nicor.org.uk/national-cardia…
