A look back on Heart Health Week 2025!

As we reflect on a great Heart Health Week earlier this month, we want to thank everyone who took the time to learn more about cardiovascular wellbeing and how small changes can make a big difference!

At Melbourne Heart Care, we’re committed to supporting your heart health all year round. Heart Health Week is a great reminder that prevention and early detection remain key in reducing the risk of heart disease — Australia’s leading cause of death.

Whether you’re managing known risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease, or you’re simply looking to better understand your heart health, now is the time to act.

What You Can Do Next?

  1. Speak with your GP about a heart health check, especially if you’re over 45!
  2. Ask about a Coronary CT Angiogram (Heart CT scan), which may be appropriate for further assessment depending on your personal risk factors.

These steps could help detect issues before symptoms appear — potentially saving lives.

If you have questions or would like to book a consultation, our team at Melbourne Heart Care is here to support you.
