Cardiovascular disease CVD is a term used to include all of the major diseases of the heart and circulatory system: coronary ischaemic heart disease CHD heart failure cerebrovascular disease including stroke peripheral vascular disease rheumatic heart disease RHD. It also includes key risk factors like: hypertension high blood pressure high blood cholesterol. Many of the cardiovascular diseases share risk factors, such as: tobacco smoking physical inactivity poor nutrition being overweight and obese high blood pressure high blood cholesterol diabetes [].
Key resources. Blockages can occur when a build-up of fat, cholesterol and other substances forms a plaque in the arteries, in a process known as atherosclerosis. When the plaque breaks away, it can form a clot that interrupts the flow of blood carrying oxygen throughout the body. If this clot blocks blood flow to the heart, the heart muscle starts to die. Heart attacks can be fatal. It is vital to get treatment as soon as possible to restore blood flow to the heart and prevent further damage to the heart.
Conclusion: Cardiovascular disease in Australia has substantial impacts in terms of morbidity, mortality, and lost revenue to the healthcare system and the society. Our modelling provides important information for decision making in relation to the future burden of cardiovascular disease.
