AB Cardiovascular disease has been the leading cause of death in Trinidad and Tobago since the 1940s; it accounts for a proportional mortality of 25% [Mungrue K et al. Anadolu Kardiyol Derg 2011]. In 2011, the Caribbean Cardiac Society endorsed development of a regional West Indies Cardiac Surgery Registry (WICSR), and this article presents an update on the status of WICSR.
