The National Heart Registry (NHR; in Dutch: Nederlandse Hart Registratie) collects data on all cardiac interventions performed in the Netherlands.

Each year, approximately 75.000 interventions are recorded in the NHR. The Registry follows patients with a heart disease through all stages of the treatment process: from the moment of diagnosis up to many years after the intervention. Operational and technical management of the NHR is carried out by the department of Medical Informatics; it facilitates a range of services such as receipt, storage and dissemination of data in various forms.
