Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the term used for heart, stroke and blood vessel diseases. It is the leading cause of death in Australia, accounting for 34% of all deaths in Australia in 2006. Cardiovascular disease kills one Australian nearly every 10 minutes. Cardiovascular disease:
- affects more than 3.4 million Australians
- prevents 1.4 million people from living a full life because of disability caused by the disease
- affects one in five Australians, and affects two out of three families
- claimed the lives of almost 48,500 Australians (34% of all deaths) in 2008 - deaths that are often preventable.
The NHMRC investment in research into cardiovascular disease in 2011 is more than $107million for 590 active research grants, up from $100 million in 2010. In the 10 years since 2002, the NHMRC has provided more that $722 million for Cardiovascular Disease, an annualized increase of 10% over the decade.
