WEBINAR | Navigating the latest updates on CVD prevention
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death worldwide and a major contributor to reduced quality of life.
More than two-thirds of Australian adults are living with at least three CVD risk factors¹.
Data extracted from the MedicineInsight, a national primary care database suggests that uptake of CVD risk assessment may be suboptimal.
