The cardiac catheterization lab: implementing best practice in Trinidad and Tobago

On 13 May 2012, the Quarterly Cardiology Conference program was organized by the Trinidad and Tobago Medical Association and The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine. The program provided a forum for discussion of issues related to the implementation of best practices in the management of patients requiring cardiac catheterization laboratory (Cathe Lab ) procedures. The participants who were stakeholders in the management of patients referred for catheter-based procedures reviewed best practice guidelines for patients, identified local barriers to the implementation of these best practices and made recommendations for the implementation of these best practice guidelines
