Evaluation and planning of coronary revascularization services.

这个项目涉及的手术，以疏通或旁路冠状动脉供应的肌肉的心脏。该项目有两个部分。一个是检查冠状动脉疾病的内科和外科治疗的变化是否伴随着受影响患者生存率的改善。第二项研究将利用澳大利亚人口变化、心脏病发病频率变化和心脏病治疗方法变化的数据，预测未来十年澳大利亚需要进行多少次冠状动脉手术。这是为冠心病患者规划医院服务的重要一步。

This project concerns operations to unblock or bypass the coronary arteries that supply the muscle of the heart. The project has two parts. One is concerned with checking that changes in medical and surgical treatment of coronary artery disease have been followed by improvements in survival of affected patients. The second will use data on changes in the Australian population, changes in the frequency of heart disease and changes in treatments for heart disease to predict how many coronary operations will be needed in Australia over the next decade. This is a vital step in planning hospital services for patients with coronary disease.
