In Australia, diseases of the heart, lungs and blood vessels kill more people than any other disease. Because these diseases affect people of all ages, they can kill your grandparents, your parents, your brother or sister, or even your children.

For a 40-year-old, the risk of having coronary heart disease at some time in their future life is one in two for men and one in three for women.

SCTS operates a partner charity, The Baird Institute, with the mission to foster research and apply science to improve the outcomes of patients facing heart or lung surgery.
