The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has developed core monitoring information on the incidence, prevalence, hospitalisation and deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Australia (including coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure). This is updated on a regular basis on the AIHW website to ensure that current information and trends are readily available.

  • Cat. no: CVD 83
Findings from this report:
  • More than 1 in 4 deaths were due to CVD in 2018

  • More than 4 in 5 (83%) CVD hospitalisations occurred in those aged 55 and over

  • 5.6% of Australian adults had 1 or more conditions related to heart or vascular disease, including stroke, in 2017–18

  • There were more than 1.2 million hospitalisations for CVD in 2017–18 (11% of all hospitalisations)
