This report provides a profile of heart disease among Australian women. 

• Chapter 2 briefly describes the demographic, socioeconomic and health profile of Australian women.
• Chapters 3 to 6 describe CVD overall, followed by the specific cardiovascular diseases:
  coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and heart failure. Data are presented to describe
  the number of women who have the disease, are disabled by it, and die from it, as well as
  a measure of the burden from death and disability.
• Chapter 7 discusses the role of risk and protective factors for CVD and then describes
  nine modifiable factors of interest: blood pressure, blood cholesterol, body weight,
  physical activity, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and psychosocial measures. Data
  are presented to describe how many women are affected by these factors and what
  proportion of the burden of disease can be attributed to each factor.
• Chapter 8 describes services and treatments.
• Chapter 9 discusses expenditure.
• Chapter 10 discusses major cardiovascular conditions in the context of other important
  diseases for women.
• Chapter 11 summarises the main findings of the report and draws conclusions from the
  available data.
• The appendixes cover detailed statistical tables, a description of data sources and
  methods.
