Capacity COVID Registry

COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease are an extremely vulnerable population. To give these patients the best possible care and to be prepared for future outbreaks, we need to know more about these patients and the best practices for treating them. Therefore DCVA partners launched the CAPACITY COVID Registry.

CAPACITY COVID Registry is an extension of the registry released by the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) and WHO in response to the emerging outbreak of COVID-19. Cardiological organisations, united in the Dutch CardioVascular Alliance, developed a protocol to collect the cardiovascular data we need. Please join us collecting this vital information, to immediately learn from patients that are being treated right now.

What is the goal of CAPACITY COVID Registry?

CAPACITY is a chance to save lives and improve treatment for COVID-19 patients that develop cardiovascular complications. CAPACITY registers data regarding the cardiovascular history, diagnostic information and occurrence of cardiovascular complications in patients with COVID-19. By collecting this information in a standardised manner, CAPACITY aims to provide more insight in:

• the vulnerability and clinical course of COVID-19 in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease;
• the incidence of cardiovascular in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

Which patients are eligible for participation?

All patients who highly suspected or tested positive for COVID-19 and are admitted to the hospital, either with cardiovascular medical history or actual complications.

What does participation mean for my patients?

This research is observational, so participants do not have to do anything and there is no risk involved for them. We provide an opt-out for patients who do not want their clinical information to be included in the registry.
