CARDIOVASCULAR HEART DISEASE
The Cardiovascular heart disease
Reasons why cardiovascular heart disease is a priority for Australian health care
Cardiovascular is a disease that affects the heart muscles and blood vessels. It’s caused
by deposition of fats or waste on the vessels and the walls of the heart which interferes with the
function of the heart of pumping and supplying blood to the body. Cardiovascular is fatal in
Australia because it causes many deaths compared to other diseases. Australia habitants are
venerable to this disease more than people who live in oversee countries. Cardiovascular has
been made a priority in health care centers to control the rate at which patients die of this disease.
This has led to high amounts of money being spent by the health care sector to regulate the rate
at which this disease affects society. According to research, there have been improvements in
treatment which have reduced the deaths when it’s compared to previous years ((Mathers, Vos,
Stevenson and Begg 2001).

Describe the health promotion program and discuss the key features that are used
to address the health issue
Promotion of cardiovascular health in early life
This is a health promotion program that was established in Australia to reduce the risk
and the burden of cardiovascular health problems. According to research, cardiovascular disease
has been affecting people as they grow and it's only at very lower rates when incidences of this
disease being diagnosed with children and the youths. The adults are already exposed to the risks
of suffering from cardiovascular disease. Therefore, this program was targeting children,
teenagers and all youths to ensure that there is a preventive measure and also to give relevant
precautions to those who have not yet been exposed to the risks of this heart disease. The adults
are also targeted by this program to help reduce the impact of the disease and prevent it to adults
who are not yet infected. This program is usually aiming at future reduced rates of patients
suffering from cardiovascular heart disease hence reduced costs in the health sector in the future
(Davidson, Stewart, Elliott, Daly, Sindone and Cockburn, 2001).
