Heart Health Check
Heart Health Checks (MBS items 699 and 177) are important opportunities for prevention to help reduce the burden of CVD in Australia. Over 850,000 Heart Health Checks have been delivered to date. Thanks to general practice teams across Australia. The checks involve comprehensive risk assessment based on the latest guidelines and Aus CVD Risk calculator as well as support for ongoing management.1
To help your practice integrate Heart Health Checks into routine clinical care, the Heart Foundation has created the Heart Health Check Toolkit, a suite of resources and ready-to-use templates. With this, you can streamline the delivery of cardiovascular risk assessment in a structured way within your clinical workflow.
