Professor Pascal McKeown:
The platform is provided by the ESC, through its Euro Heart registry. If we were able to access gathering all of the data on the Euro Heart registry, we would be in a position to compare ourselves to other European countries in respect of the various conditions. It is going to start with acute coronary syndromes, which would be admissions to hospital with chest pain. This can then be used for other disease entities, which would then allow us to make accurate returns to the ESC atlas. We could then monitor progress against any investments that are provided.
