Cardiac Care
in New Zealand
The Aotearoa New Zealand Acute Coronary Syndrome Quality Improvement (ANZACS-QI) registry is a clinician-led, nationwide platform that collects, analyses and reports on standardised cardiac care data including acute coronary syndromes (ACS), heart failure, and on coronary angiography or intervention and cardiac implantable electronic device procedures to improve equity, quality, and outcomes.
Our Mission
Improving cardiac care across Aotearoa
At the heart of our mission is the delivery of equitable, evidence-based cardiac care across Aotearoa New Zealand. Through the ANZACS-QI registry, we collect and analyse nationwide data on acute coronary syndrome (ACS), heart failure, and coronary procedures, giving clinicians, researchers, and health leaders the insights they need to improve outcomes and reduce inequities.
Drive improvements
We drive measurable improvements in the quality of cardiac care delivered in New Zealand’s hospitals to empower clinicians and health leaders with trusted data and insights.
Single data platform
Through a unified national platform, we reduce regional variation in the assessment, investigation, and treatment of cardiac patients, helping to improve outcomes for all New Zealanders.

ANZACS-QI Cardiac Risk Score Calculator
ANZACS-QI data was used to develop this calculator, which supports clinicians and their patients in decisions about dual antiplatelet therapy duration.
The ANZACS-QI calculator is designed for use on the day of hospital discharge to estimate the risk of ischaemic events and major bleeding occurring between 28 days and one year post-discharge, for patients who remain event-free at 28 days.
