SCPC and ACCF will promote the National Cardiovascular Data Registry’s ACTION Registry-GWTG (Get with the Guidelines) for acute coronary syndrome patients. The registry encourages healthcare providers to consistently use the most current evidence-based guidelines when treating heart attack patients.

SCPC will give a discount on applications to hospitals seeking chest pain center accreditation if they are already participating in ARG. ACCF will give a 10 percent discount off the first year’s ARG subscription for hospitals that become chest pain center accredited.
