The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database: 2021 Update on Echocardiography

In this report, we describe and summarize the type and rate of reporting of echocardiography-related variables in the STS ACSD, including the Adult Cardiac Anesthesiology Module, from July 2017 to December 2019 for the most frequently performed cardiac surgical procedures. With this review, we aim to increase awareness of the importance of collecting accurate and consistent echocardiography data in the STS ACSD and to highlight opportunities for growth and improvement.PMID:34536378 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.09.001
