Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with coronary heart disease (summary booklet): further perspectives on health status and treatment

Cardiovascular disease series no. 26

This summary presents the key points detailed in 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with coronary heart disease: further perspectives on health status and treatment'. That report builds on existing information on disparities between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians in the health status and treatment of coronary heart disease. New information on the incidence of major coronary events, case fatality, use of coronary procedures in hospital and case complexity in hospital has built a more complete picture of the coronary heart disease burden among Indigenous Australians. This summary will be of interest to those policy makers and health professionals who prefer an overview of the main points, as well as to the broader community.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with coronary heart disease: further perspectives on health status and treatment

Cardiovascular disease series no. 25

'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with coronary heart disease: further perspectives on health status and treatment' builds on existing information on disparities between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians in the health status and treatment of coronary heart disease. It is the first study of this scale to analyse data on Indigenous Australians in four key areas: incidence of major coronary events ; case fatality from major coronary events ; use of coronary procedures in hospital ; case complexity in hospital. This new information enables us to build a more complete picture of the coronary heart disease burden among Indigenous Australians, and also furthers our knowledge of disparities in treatment of coronary heart disease in relation to need. This report will be of interest to policy makers, health professionals and researchers in the field, as well as to the broader community.
