The formulation of the Cardiothoracic Registry. Cardiothoracic surgery is the field of medicine involved in surgical treatment of diseases affecting organs inside the thorax (the chest). It is a general treatment of conditions of the heart (heart disease) and lungs (lung disease). In Malaysia, due to lack of data collection we do not have estimates of number and outcome of such procedure in the country. Western figures are often used as our reference values and this may not accurately reflect our Malaysian population. The Malaysian Cardiothoracic Surgery Registry (MyCARE) by the Ministry of Health will be a valuable tool to provide timely and robust data of cardiology practice, its safety and cost effectiveness and most importantly the outcome of these patients in the Malaysian setting.
心胸外科登记处的设立。心胸外科是医学领域中涉及对影响胸部（胸腔）内器官的疾病进行外科治疗的学科。它是对心脏疾病（心脏病）和肺部疾病（肺病）的综合治疗。在马来西亚，由于缺乏数据收集，我们没有该国此类手术的数量和结果的估计。西方的数据常被用作我们的参考值，但这可能无法准确反映马来西亚的人口情况。卫生部设立的马来西亚心胸外科登记处（MyCARE）将成为一个有价值的工具，可及时提供可靠的心脏病学实践数据、其安全性和成本效益，最重要的是提供这些患者在马来西亚情况下的治疗结果。
