Facts About Heart Health
Heart disease and cardiovascular conditions remain one of Australia's most significant health challenges. According to the Heart Foundation and Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, cardiovascular disease accounts for around one in four deaths in Australia.
Every day, Australians are affected by heart conditions — someone is hospitalised for heart disease roughly every minute, and many families experience the life-changing impact of heart failure, coronary disease and the need for transplantation. While survival rates have improved through prevention and treatment advances, cardiovascular disease still contributes significantly to the national burden of disease and the loss of healthy life years.
These facts highlight why continued investment in cardiac and transplant research is vital. Research drives improvements in early detection, treatment, surgical outcomes and long-term survival, offering hope to patients and families affected by heart disease today and into the future.
Through the Cycle of Giving, our community supports this essential work — helping ensure research continues to save lives and improve heart health across Australia.
