Make a difference
We are proud of our history and our achievements; we use our past successes to guide the future. We work with evidence to be a trusted voice on heart health – when the evidence changes, we change with it.

Emma survived a heart attack thanks to advances in medical research. In 2015, just 45 years old and a seasoned bodybuilder, she knew the crushing pain from her hips to the top of her head meant something was very wrong.

Streamline CVD risk assessment and management in general practice with the Heart Health Check Toolkit
Heart Health Check describes the first MBS items (699 and 177) that incorporate absolute cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk calculation and facilitate assessment on an annual basis.
- The burden of CVD remains high in Australia.
- CVD causes one in four of all deaths and accounts for 1,619 hospitalisations per day.1,2
- Over half of Australian adults live with three or more modifiable risk factors for CVD.3
- Modifiable CVD risk factors account for 90% of risk of heart attack, reinforcing the fact that CVD is largely preventable.4
