Is the incidence of heart attack still decreasing in Australia? Developing more reliable methods for monitoring trends in myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Our study is a collaboration between the University of WA and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare to investigate population trends in incidence and outcomes of heart disease and its major sub-groups including heart attack, angina and chest pain. Using linked data from WA, we will identify the sub-groups for which trends over time are a realistic estimate of the true population trends. These will be applied to national data to monitor heart disease more accurately in Australia.
