The Western Denmark Heart Registry (WDHR) is a semi-national, multicenter-based clinical registry with unique potential for cardiovascular research. The registry has provided detailed prospectively registered information on patient and procedure characteristics since 1999. WDHR data can be linked to additional data in other healthcare registries in Denmark. Therefore, the WDHR is a valuable data resource for cardiovascular research, providing a foundation for numerous research projects and publications. This review describes three currently available cohorts from the WDHR containing individual-level information on: i) 200,647 first-time coronary angiographies from 2003 to 2021, ii) 88,630 first-time percutaneous coronary interventions from 1999 to 2022, and iii) 85,512 first-time coronary computed tomography angiographies from 2008 to 2021. Furthermore, we describe other frequently cross-linked Danish healthcare registries containing information on various patient characteristics and outcomes, such as vital status, cause of death, hospitalizations, medications, and laboratory test results. The comprehensive overview of these cohorts aims to assist researchers, collaborators, and other interested parties in understanding the scope and potential applications of the available data. All cohorts are regularly updated, thereby supporting continuing research on cardiovascular clinical practice and prognosis in Denmark.
丹麦西部心脏登记处（WDHR）是一个半国家级、多中心的临床登记处，在心血管研究方面具有独特潜力。自1999年以来，该登记处提供了有关患者和手术特征的详细前瞻性登记信息。WDHR数据可与丹麦其他医疗保健登记处的其他数据相链接。因此，WDHR是心血管研究的宝贵数据资源，为众多研究项目和出版物奠定了基础。本综述描述了WDHR目前可用的三个队列，其中包含以下个体层面信息：i）2003年至2021年的200,647例首次冠状动脉造影；ii）1999年至2022年的88,630例首次经皮冠状动脉介入治疗；iii）2008年至2021年的85,512例首次冠状动脉计算机断层扫描血管造影。此外，我们还描述了其他经常交叉链接的丹麦医疗保健登记处，这些登记处包含有关各种患者特征和结局的信息，如生命状态、死亡原因、住院情况、用药情况和实验室检查结果。对这些队列的全面概述旨在帮助研究人员、合作者和其他相关方了解可用数据的范围和潜在应用。所有队列都会定期更新，从而支持对丹麦心血管临床实践和预后的持续研究。
