CVDNOR: Mapping the cardiac health of the Norwegians
For a long time, Norway was the only Nordic country without a national cardiovascular registry. Therefore, researchers at the University of Bergen have been collecting data on hundreds of thousands of Norwegians who have been hospitalized with cardiovascular disease after 1994.
