Cardiovascular Final Report - Spring Cycle 2018 

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. NQF’s cardiovascular measures portfolio is one of the largest. In the Spring 2018 cycle of this project, the Cardiovascular Standing Committee evaluated one maintenance measure, while an additional measure was withdrawn by the developer from endorsement consideration before the Committee’s review. The reviewed maintenance measure was recommended for endorsement by the Committee.
