Summary
Cardiovascular disease kills one Australian every 12 minutes. Coordinated and prompt medical treatment of heart attack is essential in preventing mortality. This study will identify contributing factors of delay from a frontline clinician and hospital perspective. It is anticipated by understanding the impact these factors have on the delivery of heart attack care, an evidence base is built to support the various clinicians involved, and improve this complex process of care across Victoria.
