CVD is Australia’s – and the world’s – number 1 killer.

- CVD death rates are twice as high for males as they are for females.
- People living in lower socioeconomic groups, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and those living in regional areas generally have higher rates death resulting from CVD.
Heart attack is a leading cause of hospitalisation and death in Australia, claiming on average 19 lives every day. That’s one person every 74 minutes.
- Every nine minutes, one person is hospitalised due to a heart attack.
- One in three Australians personally knows someone who has had a heart attack.
- Twice as many men experience heart attacks compared to females.
- An estimated 430,000 Australians have had a heart attack at some point in their lives, and every year, 57,000 Australians suffer a heart attack.
