The volume of cardiac surgery in China is increasing rapidly at a rate of approximately 10% annually, and has approached 207,881 at the year of 2013. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve procedures account for 41% of all. With the aging population, rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, and rapid economic development in China, the volume of cardiac procedures will continuously rise for years. In light of the burgeoning volume of cardiac procedures, considering the imbalance of economic development among regions, and the lack of standardized surgeon training system, critical concern with regards to the quality of cardiac surgery has been raised.
