Access to preventive care, specialist support and rehabilitation after a heart attack are essential in reducing cardiovascular mortality and disability.
Much can be done to improve access to care, especially for important groups such as women from different cultural and linguistic communities, Aboriginal natives and women of Torres Strait Islander, and women living in rural and remote areas of Australia.
Better access to care requires confirmation of the ability of primary care staff, especially in rural and remote areas, as well as funding and policies to increase access to primary care nurses, nurses and cardiac rehabilitation services.
Telehealth is an important tool for improving access to doctors and specialist cardiac services, especially in rural and remote areas.
All Australians have a wake-up call to monitor their heart health. Reducing the risk of heart disease starts with a GP to check your heart health for personal support to live a healthier life.
