Dataset from Analysis dataset of cardiac catheterization procedures from the Duke Information System for Cardiovascular Care (DISCC) (“ACATHD”)

The anonymized ACATHD dataset (also known as DukeCath) contains records on cardiac catheterization procedures performed on adult patients at Duke University Medical Center from 1985-2013 as part of standard clinical care. The dataset is an anonymized data extract from the Duke Databank For Cardiovascular Disease (DDCD). The DDCD was created with the primary goal of collecting and monitoring data on patients in the cardiac care unit, and other patients receiving cardiac surgery or procedures. The ACATHD dataset includes information on patient demographics, clinical history, vital signs and physical exam findings prior to cardiac catheterization, laboratory results, catheterization results (stenosis in major coronary artery systems), and coronary interventions performed during catheterization. Patients with significant coronary artery disease were followed to ascertain subsequent events after discharge, including death, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization, revascularization, and valve replacement/repair.
