Article Synopsis
- - The American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines (GWTG) program aims to enhance inpatient care for various cardiovascular conditions and utilizes real-world clinical data for biomedical research.
- - A scalable database was created using PostgreSQL, along with an integrated user interface (UI) developed in Python's Django, allowing efficient data processing, quality control, and user-friendly access to over 13.2 million patient records.
- - The newly implemented tools improve data management and accessibility, catering to both technical and non-technical researchers by simplifying data extraction and presenting it in an easy-to-understand format.

Background: High-quality research in cardiovascular prevention, as in other fields, requires inclusion of a broad range of data sets from different sources. Integrating and harmonizing different data sources are essential to increase generalizability, sample size, and representation of understudied populations-strengthening the evidence for the scientific questions being addressed.
Methods: Here, we describe an effort to build an open-access repository and interactive online portal for researchers to access the metadata and code harmonizing data from 4 well-known cohort studies-the REGARDS (Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke) study, FHS (Framingham Heart Study), MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis), and ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study.
