Operations and Hospital Activity

Key points:

• The number of revascularisation procedures (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts and Coronary Angioplasties) performed by NHSScotland remains around 8000 for 2006/07 (see Table OC1).

• Based on provisional 2006/07 data, the number of Coronary Angiography investigations was 16,516 in 2006/07, compared to 17,320 in 2005/06 (see Table OC1).

• The number of discharges where a valve operation was carried out has remained fairly constant over the last few years at around 700-800 in Scotland per annum. The provisional 2006/07 value of 700 is consistent with this average annual trend (see Table OC1).

• The mainland Health Boards with the highest mortality adjusted operation ratios for revascularisation were Grampian and Borders for men and women (see Table OC2).

• Numbers of admissions for Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) i.e. heart attack, have declined in recent years, as have numbers for of admissions for angina and cardiac failure (see Table AC1).

• Elective admissions for AMI and angina have declined over the years, there has also been a decline in the number of emergency admissions (see Table AC3).
