This bulletin begins with an assessment of what we need to know to monitor heart failure effectively in Australia. This is followed by a summary of what we already know as a result of analysing existing national data sets and includes a discussion of issues in monitoring heart failure, particularly in relation to the interpretation of data from existing sources. International comparisons are then made, and the bulletin concludes with a discussion of possible future trends in the incidence and prevalence of heart failure in Australia.
