This year Heart Week will be held from 3 to 9 May.
This Heart Week, the Heart Foundation’s focus is on supporting health professionals to deliver more Heart Health Checks to eligible patients. This is a vital step to empower people to better look after their heart health.
Data show the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted health services with a significant drop in the number of preventative health assessments in 2020, especially for services that could not be delivered via telehealth, such as Heart Health Checks.
Heart Foundation is encouraging Australians to get back to looking after their heart health: a great place to start is by keeping up with regular medical appointments and speaking with their doctor about relevant medical tests.
