Cardiac conditions, including heart attach, heart failure, angina and high blood pressure are very common among older Australians. They account for large proportions of deaths, morbidity and health care costs. For most of these conditions there are highly effective treatments, however there is evidence that these are not as well used as they should be. Also, for women, diagnosis may be delayed due to perceptions that heart disease is a problem mainly among men. The project is based on the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health which includes more than 10,000 women, over half living in rural and remote areas. Women with cardiac conditions will be surveyed about their medical care. This information, together with data they have provided over the last 6 years (and Medicare data if the women have given their consent), will be compared with best practice guidelines established by NHMRC and the Heart Foundation. In this way the project will examine the adequacy of medical care among older women in sufficient detail to make actionable recommendations to health authorities for where improvements are needed.

心脏病，包括心脏病，心力衰竭，心绞痛和高血压在老年澳大利亚人中非常常见。它们在死亡、发病和保健费用中占很大比例。对于大多数这些情况，有非常有效的治疗方法，但有证据表明，这些方法并没有得到应有的使用。此外，对妇女来说，由于认为心脏病主要是男性的问题，诊断可能会延迟。该项目以澳大利亚妇女健康纵向研究为基础，该研究包括10 000多名妇女，其中一半以上生活在农村和偏远地区。将对患有心脏病的妇女进行医疗保健调查。这些信息，连同他们在过去6年中提供的数据（以及医疗保险数据，如果妇女同意的话），将与NHMRC和心脏基金会制定的最佳实践指南进行比较。通过这种方式，该项目将足够详细地审查老年妇女是否得到充分的医疗照顾，以便向卫生当局提出可采取行动的建议，指出哪些方面需要改进。
