Monitoring the Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease in Australia examines the feasibility of monitoring the incidence of selected cardiovascular diseases using existing national datasets.Methods for estimating the national incidence of acute myocardial infarction, stroke, unstable angina pectoris, and congestive heart failure are recommended.This report is part of the Cardiovascular Disease Series, which covers mortality, risk factors, morbidity and medical procedures. It is a valuable resource for health planners, practitioners and researchers interested in the occurrence of cardiovascular conditions.
