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 2019 cycle of this project, the Cardiovascular Standing Committee evaluated six measures undergoing maintenance review, and they recommended all six measures for continued endorsement. The Consensus Standards Approval Committee (CSAC) upheld the Committee’s recommendations.
