NCVD Annual Reports

On behalf of the American College of Cardiology, we extend our sincerest congratulations for the 2007 & 2008 report of the Malaysian NCVD Acute Coronary Syndrome Registry. This is a tremendous accomplishment offering valuable patient data of 6,500 additional Malaysian patients entered since your landmark 2006 inaugural report.
