Talking about Heart Health Checks
In 2019, Heart Week is celebrated from 28 April–4 May.
Heart Week 2019 focuses on encouraging more people to understand their risk factors for heart disease and take the right steps to reduce this risk.
Heart Week is an opportunity for health professionals and the Australian public to start a conversation about heart health and the steps needed to reduce the risk of heart disease.
In particular the Heart Foundation campaign is focusing on:
- Heart health checks and what they involve
- Which patients should have a heart health check and why
- What steps patients can take to manage their risk of heart disease and stroke
