Never Miss A Beat this Heart Week

This Heart Week (5-11 May), start a conversation with your patients about heart health and the positive steps they can take to reduce their heart disease risk.

Every four minutes, one Australian has a heart attack or stroke. Never miss a BEAT. Use the Australian CVD Risk calculator during your next Heart Health Check. 

Since its launch in July 2023, the Australian CVD Risk calculator has been used over 1 million times, providing an accurate and comprehensive mechanism for cardiovascular risk assessment in primary care.
