Factors that influence whether patients with acute coronary syndromes undergo cardiac catheterisation
CONCLUSIONS: Although a larger proportion of patients who presented to catheterisation-capable hospitals underwent catheterisation, patients with similar characteristics were selected for the procedure, independent of the hospital of presentation. Major outcomes for patients were also similar, suggesting equitable management of patients with ACS across Australia.PMID:33792058 | DOI:10.5694/mja2.50997

Access to rehabilitation for patients with stroke in Australia.
CONCLUSIONS: Access to stroke units and to early and ongoing rehabilitation for patients after stroke can be improved in Australia, both to optimise outcomes and to reduce the burden of care on underresourced community and primary care providers. PMID: 30636312 [PubMed - in process]

Maximising data value and avoiding data waste: a validation study in stroke research.
CONCLUSION: We report the first linkage of data from an Australian national clinical quality disease registry with routinely collected data from several national and state government health datasets. Data linkage enriches the clinical registry dataset and provides additional information beyond that for the acute care setting and quality of life at follow-up, allowing clinical outcomes for people with stroke (mortality and hospital contacts) to be more comprehensively assessed.

Readmissions after stroke: linked data from the Australian Stroke Clinical Registry and hospital databases.
CONCLUSIONS: Linking clinical registry data with routinely collected hospital data for stroke and TIA is feasible in Victoria. Using these linked data, we found that readmission to hospital is common in this patient group and is related to their comorbid conditions. PMID: 26175251 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Availability of highly sensitive troponin assays and acute coronary syndrome care: insights from the SNAPSHOT registry.
CONCLUSION: Use of hs troponin testing of patients hospitalised with possible ACS was associated with an increased rate of non-invasive cardiac investigations and fewer inhospital adverse events. PMID: 25588444 [PubMed - in process]

Use of secondary stroke prevention medicines in Australia: national trends, 2003-2009.
Conclusions: Increased use of secondary stroke prevention medicines was shown in this study, in accordance with national stroke guideline recommendations and initiatives supporting quality use of medicines in Australia. There may be opportunity to further increase use of these medicines among older Australians who have had a TIA or ischaemic stroke. PMID: 24999900 [PubMed - in process]

Update on the management of atrial fibrillation.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia, with a prevalence that increases markedly with increasing age. Presence of AF has implications for management of future stroke risk. If the patient's pulse is irregular, an electrocardiogram should be ordered. Key management decisions are whether to adopt a rhythm control or a rate control strategy and whether to initiate anticoagulation. The primary aim of a rhythm control strategy is improved symptom control. AF ablation may be considered in younger patients (aged < 65 years) with paroxysmal or early persistent AF. AF increases the risk of stroke, an...

Impact of obstructive sleep apnoea on diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Abstract Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a potential cause of systemic hypertension in young and middle-aged people, and treatment helps reduce blood pressure in some patients. Severe OSA (apnoea-hypopnoea index [AHI] > 30/h) is strongly associated with increased mortality, stroke and cardiovascular disease in middle-aged populations. The cardiovascular risk from moderate OSA (AHI, 15-30/h) is uncertain, particularly if the oxygen desaturation index is low, although the data suggest an increased risk for stroke (particularly in men). There is no evidence of increased cardiovascular risk from mild OSA (AHI &l...
