Funded Activity Summary

This unique and innovative project has the potential to deliver a powerful tool to both highlight and combat the burden of CVD in Australia. Key outcomes include,the ability to identify geographical ‘hotspots’ where there is likely to be a mismatch between demand for and actual provision of cardiovascular services and where new hotspots are likely to emerge requiring increased resources and services as a result of the ageing and increasing risk factors such as diabetes and obesity.
