The National Cardiovascular Big Data Platform is a collaborative cardiovascular big data research project initiated by the China Cardiovascular Health Alliance under the auspices of the China Health Information and Healthcare Big Data Society. Through the construction of a nationwide collaborative cardiovascular clinical research network and advanced information technology data processing tools, the platform effectively utilizes larger population data for big data analysis, thus generating conclusions and recommendations with clear guidance to further build a comprehensive clinical decision support system in the cardiovascular field.

Adopting a big data network model for research support, the cardiovascular clinical research platform has been fully rolled out in the cardiology departments of the pilot hospitals, building a clinical decision support system based on existing authoritative guidelines and consensus and artificial intelligence technologies.

- Helping hospital cardiology departments with information technology construction, providing one-stop data query and clinical research analysis support, and facilitating high-level research collaboration.

- Improving the overall quality of cardiovascular healthcare services by enhancing the ability of hospitals at all levels to standardize the treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease.

- Improving the ability to manage the post-discharge follow-up of patients with cardiovascular disease.
