Notes on (EPS) and Ablations Wait Times

Electrophysiology Studies (EPS) and Ablations

for the Three Months Ending August 31, 2008.

This table shows how many adult patients have cardiac surgery at each of Ontario's hospital cardiac centres. It also shows how long patients usually wait for bypass surgery and whether their waiting time falls within a recommended time range. This information is provided to help doctors and patients in the referral process for surgical treatment of heart disease.

There are notes below the table explaining the information. All patients accepted for surgery by a heart surgeon are registered on the Cardiac Care Network of Ontario's (CCN) computer system. Waiting times are monitored until patients have surgery. If you have questions about a centre's statistics, please check with the centre.
