Despite significant improvements in the cardiovascular health of Australians, Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) continues to impose a heavy burden on Australians in terms of cost,disability and death. Recent evidence suggests that mortality from CVD increases with increasing remoteness. Rates are reported to be between 20% and 50% higher in rural areas compared to major cities. This project, with its extensive use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, will rank 11,338 rural and remote population centres to identify geographical 'hotspots' where there is likely to be a mismatch between the demand for and actual provision of cardiovascular services.

尽管澳大利亚人的心血管健康有了显著改善，但心血管疾病在费用、残疾和死亡方面继续给澳大利亚人带来沉重负担。最近的证据表明，心血管疾病的死亡率随着偏远程度的增加而增加。据报告，农村地区的死亡率比大城市高出20%至50%。该项目广泛使用地理信息系统技术，将对11 338个农村和偏远人口中心进行排名，以确定心血管服务需求与实际提供之间可能不匹配的地理“热点”。
