2003 Update 1.0 Background

In coronary artery disease (CAD), blockages in the blood vessels that supply the heart (coronary arteries) lead to angina (chest pain) or heart attacks (death of heart muscle). Heart disease is the leading cause of death and hospitalization in Waterloo Regional Municipality and Wellington-Dufferin Counties.

• In 1999 there were 253 deaths from heart attack (Myocardial Infarction) in the Region of Waterloo, 122 in Wellington County and 39 in Dufferin County.

• In 2001, 941 residents of Waterloo RM, 376 of Wellington County, and 98 of Dufferin County were admitted to hospital as a result of a heart attack.

Primary prevention through healthy lifestyles (smoking cessation, physical activity, heart healthy eating, maintaining healthy weight) remains the most important strategy for reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease1,2. In the 2001 Canadian Community Health Survey, a high proportion of WRWD residents aged 20 – 64 years reported the following heart disease risk factors3:

• 55% were physically inactive; • 26% were current smokers; • 38% were overweight (body mass index > 27); • 57% consumed fewer than 5 fruits or vegetables per day.

Based on the high percentage of WRWD residents with at least one of the above risk factors, heart disease will continue to place significant demands on the health care system in the district. This report examines the use of hospital-based cardiac services by residents of WRWD and in particular how this use has changed with the start up of the cardiac catheterization unit at St. Mary’s General Hospital in Kitchener. The specific services under study are described below. 1.1 Cardiac Catheterizations (CCath) Heart specialists use this hospital-based procedure to look for blockages in the individual arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle. This test combines injecting quantities of dye through a narrow tube inside the heart with taking x-ray pictures from outside. The combination provides the doctor with a clear picture of where arteries are clogged. Knowing the location of blockages in the arteries helps the physician advise the patient about the best treatment: medicines, surgery, or percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).

• St. Mary’s General Hospital (SMGH), Kitchener began performing CCaths in February 2001.

• CCaths can be done either as a day patient or in-patient procedure. 1.2 Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) PCIs are procedures that use small inflatable balloons and other devices to open blocked blood vessels. Doctors insert these through the skin in the groin area and thread them up through blood vessels into the coronary arteries. They then use these devices to open the blockages.

PCIs are easier on patients than heart surgery and less expensive to carry out. They are effective for many, but not all patients. Physicians may decide to proceed directly to a PCI in the same session as the cardiac catheterization – these are called ‘ad hoc PCIs’. In Ontario, there has been a large increase in PCIs over the past decade and in 2002/2003, 40% of all PCIs were ad hoc procedures4.

• St. Mary’s GH began performing PCIs in July 2003; until then residents from WRWD underwent PCIs, including ad hoc PCIs at other cardiac centers.

• The data for this report only includes procedures completed to the end of the 2002 fiscal year (March 31, 2003) and therefore does not include any PCIs performed at St. Mary’s.

1.3 Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Coronary artery bypass graft or CABG (pronounced 'cabbage') is a type of heart surgery in which a blood vessel from another part of the body is grafted between the aorta (the main artery leading from the heart) and one or more coronary arteries to bypass blockages and restore blood flow to the heart. A bypass can be done on each of the four coronary arteries and is called single, double, triple or quadruple CABG depending on how many arteries are bypassed.

• St. Mary’s GH began performing CABGs in July 2003; until then residents from WRWD underwent CABGs at other cardiac centers.

• The data for this report only includes surgeries completed to the end of the 2002 fiscal year (March 31, 2003) and therefore does not include any CABGs performed at St. Mary’s.

1.4 Ontario Cardiac Care Centres Table 1 lists the 17 cardiac care centres in Ontario and the procedures that they provided in 2002/2003. These centres report directly to the Ontario Cardiac Care Network. In addition, as part of hospital reporting procedures, data from these centers are also submitted to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Both sets of data are used in this report. Table 1.

This report provides a summary of the data on cardiac services for WRWD residents. A description of the methodology for the analysis and expanded data tables and are provided in Appendices A and B respectively. 2.0 Cardiac Service Patterns for WRWD Residents 2.1 Cardiac Catheterization Services Figure 1 provides a map of the WRWD district and the location of the closest cardiac care centers. Figures 2 to 4 illustrate that the pattern of CCath service use is influenced by the proximity of WRWD residents to these cardiac centers; patients prefer to use services ‘close to home’. For example, after the opening of the cardiac catheterization unit at St. Mary’s General hospital, the proportion of Waterloo residents having CCaths in London dropped from 54% in 2000 to 9% in 2001 and in Hamilton from 26% to 10%. However the opening of the CCath unit at St. Mary’s had little impact on residents of Dufferin County - fewer than 5 Dufferin County residents had CCaths performed there in 2001 or 2002. But the opening of the much closer CCath unit at Southlake HC in Newmarket resulted in Dufferin residents using this center for 32% of their CCaths in 2002. (Note: the most recent data available for this report are up to March 31 2003 and therefore do not include cardiac service use since the initiation of PCI services at St. Mary’s GH (July, 2003)) Figure 1.

2.2 Cardiac Catheterizations – Waterloo Regional Municipality Residents As expected, the opening of the cardiac catheterization (CCath) unit at St. Mary’s General Hospital in Kitchener had the greatest impact on residents of Waterloo Regional Municipality. Figure 2 below provides a breakdown of the cardiac center location for all CCaths performed on residents of the region from 1996 to 2002. By 2002 fiscal year, 82% of all CCaths for Waterloo RM residents were performed at St. Mary’s and the number of CCaths performed had increased to 1226 (1241 in 2001) from a low of 959 in 1998. It is expected that the opening of the PCI unit at St. Mary’s (July 2003) has further increased this proportion since this unit allows patients to undergo catheterizations and proceed to PCI in the same session (ad hoc PCIs). Ad hoc PCIs have increased in Ontario over the past few years as mentioned previously.

Note: 2002 (fiscal year) CCaths totals may have been affected by the SARS outbreak in Toronto which resulted in reductions in most health care services in southern Ontario during March, 2003.

• Volume of CCaths increased from 1,074 in 1996 to a high of 1,241 in 2001/02; • Number of CCaths in 2002/03 (1,226) was likely lower than in 2001/02 because of

reductions in service resulting from the SARS outbreak in Ontario; • CCath rates increased from 351/100000 adult population in 1996/97 to 374 in 2001/02; • CCath rate for Waterloo RM is still 21% below the 2003/04 target of 474/100000 adult

population; • Large numbers of Waterloo RM residents continued to go to other cardiac care centers

for CCaths in 2002/03 including Hamilton (167, 8% of CCaths), London (97, 5%), and Toronto hospitals (180, 9%);

• Median wait times for outpatient CCaths at the most frequently used hospitals were: St. Mary’s GH, 13 days; Hamilton Health Sciences, 54 days; London Health Sciences, 29 days; University Health Network (Toronto), 26 days; Trillium Health Centre, 28 days;

• Median wait times for inpatient CCaths were: St. Mary’s GH, 2 days; Hamilton, 3 days; London, 2 days; University Health Network, 1 day; Trillium HC, 4 days.

2.3 Cardiac Catheterizations – Wellington County Residents The opening of the cardiac catheterization (CCath) unit at St. Mary’s General Hospital in Kitchener had an impact on residents of Wellington County, particularly in 2002/03, the second full year of operation. Figure 3 below provides a breakdown of the cardiac center location for all CCaths performed on residents of Wellington C from 1996 to 2002 fiscal years. By 2002 fiscal year, 68% (419) of Wellington residents CCaths were performed at St. Mary’s, up from 49% (254) in 2001.

2.4 Cardiac Catheterizations – Dufferin County Residents As expected, the opening of the cardiac catheterization unit at St. Mary’s had no impact on the residents of Dufferin County. The volume of CCaths has remained fairly constant for Dufferin County residents between 1996 and 2002. However, there has been a change in the pattern of cardiac center use for Dufferin residents with increased use of the new CCath units in Mississauga (Trillium HC) and Newmarket (Southlake HC), both of which are more accessible to parts of Dufferin County than are services in Toronto. In 2002/03 Toronto hospitals continued to perform more than half (90, 55%) of all CCaths on Dufferin residents.

Note: 2002 (fiscal year) CCaths totals may have been affected by the SARS outbreak in Toronto which resulted in reductions in most health care services in southern Ontario during March, 2003.

• Volume of CCaths was virtually unchanged between 1996 and 2002 fiscal years; • Number of CCaths in 2002/03 would likely have been even higher if not for the

reductions in service resulting from the SARS outbreak in Ontario; • CCath rate in 2002/03 was 446/100000 adult population, 19% below the 2003/04 target

for Dufferin (550/100000 adult population); • CCath target rate for Dufferin (550/100000 adults) is higher than for Waterloo RM (474)

and Wellington (also 474) because of a higher incidence of heart attack and an older population;

• Cardiac centers performing the highest volumes of CCaths for Dufferin residents in 2002/03 were: Toronto hospitals (90, 55% of CCaths), Newmarket (64 (39%) and Mississauga (11, 7%).

• Median wait times for CCath outpatients at the hospitals most frequently used by Dufferin residents were: University Health Network (Toronto), 26 days; Southlake Regional Health Centre (Newmarket), 7 days; St. Michael’s (Toronto), 28 days.

• Median wait times of CCath inpatients were: University Health Network, 1 day; Southlake, 1 day; St. Michael’s (Toronto), 3 days.

2.5 Cardiac Catheterizations – St. Mary’s General Hospital The place of residence of CCath patients at St. Mary’s GH is presented in Figure 5 below. As with the cardiac service use data provided for residents of WRWD, the patient population is

of unty. In the

second year of operation the number of Waterloo RM residents increased but the proportion of patients that this represented dropped to 49%. In 2002 there was a large increase in patients from the neighbouring counties of Brant, Grey, Bruce, Huron, and Wellington using the service. Figure 5. Place of Residence of Cardiac Catheterization Patients at St. Mary’s GH

Source: 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 Annual Statistical Reports, Cardiac Care Network of Ontario, Toronto, June and October 2003.

CCaths at St. Mary’s General Hospital:

• 1593 CCaths performed in 2001 fiscal year, first full year of unit operation; • 28% increase in 2002 (2044 completed CCaths); • Waterloo residents accounted for 62% of CCaths in 2001 (990) and 49% in 2002 (1000); • Wellington residents having CCaths increased by 65% from 2001 (254) to 2002 (419); • Use by residents of Grey, Bruce, Huron, Oxford, Brant, and Haldimand-Norfolk Counties

more than doubled from 2001 to 2002; • Few Dufferin County residents had CCaths at St. Mary’s; • The start up of PCI services at St. Mary’s (July 2003) is expected to further increase

CCath unit use since it provides the opportunity for ad hoc PCIs; • The number of CCaths completed at St. Mary’s was 14% below the MOHLTC approved

volume in 2001 and 11% above in 2002. • Median wait times for CCath at St. Mary’s in 2001 was 2 days for in-patients and 13

days for outpatients.

Once the source of the coronary artery blockage has been identified, patients undergo either a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to alleviathe blockage. Together, these two procedures are known as revascularization services. Table 2 below summarizes the data on revascularization for residents of WRWD from 1996 to 2002 fiscal years. Following the pattern of CCath procedure changes, the number of revascularizationprocedures more than doubled for residents of Waterloo and of Wellington C between 1996 an2002, while there was a less dramatic increase for residents of Dufferin C.

Cardiac catheterizations (CCath) on residents of Wellington and Dufferin County and Waterloo Regional Municipality residents are reported by hospitals to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). These data are subsequently provided to the MOHLTC’s Provincial Health Planning Database (PHPDB). The Cardiac Care Network of Ontario (CCN) also maintains a n ‘on-time’ database of all cardiac procedures in Ontario. Cardiac procedures are reported directly to the CCN by the various cardiac centres including St. Mary’s. In 2003 the CCN produced statistical reports for the 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 fiscal years (April 1 – March 31) with the data provided both by county/regional municipality of the patient and by cardiac care centre performing the procedure.
