SUMMARY:Heart Week
DESCRIPTION:You can save a life with one conversation!\nHeart Week (1-7 May) shines a spotlight on Australia’s heart health. In 2016 the Heart Foundation is talking about how attending cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack saves lives. \nEvery year 55\,000 Australians have a heart attack\, and for one in three of these people\, it’s not their first. Simply by recommending cardiac rehabilitation you can help prevent someone having another heart attack. But we know this does not always happen. Heart Foundation research has found that less than 38% of heart attack survivors report they have received a referral to cardiac rehabilitation by hospital staff. \nThe benefits of cardiac rehabilitation are clear. Patients who participate in a program are 40% less likely to be readmitted to hospital within 12 months and 25% less likely to die from another heart attack. \nThe economic cost of patients not participating in cardiac rehabilitation is also significant. A heart attack costs the health system around $30\,000 – equating to $1 billion each year. In contrast\, cardiac rehabilitation costs on average $885 for a person to attend. \nCardiac rehabilitation works\, we need it to work for everyone. \nDownload a free resource package at www.heartfoundation.org.au/HeartWeek.

He is involved in research\, clinical service\, supervision of junior staff and endocrine advanced trainees\, and teaching. He has a major research interest in the influence of testosterone on health during male ageing. He has over 100 peer reviewed publications and has been awarded over $6 million in research funding. He has been an international invited speaker on the topic of hormones and health outcomes in men\, and he received the US Endocrine Society’s International Award for Publishing Excellence in 2013. \nIn 2015 Prof Yeap received a Heart Foundation Research grant to examine whether testosterone and exercise training will improve the function of blood vessels and the heart more than either alone\, in middle aged or older men who are overweight. These results will help inform us whether such treatments might reduce the risk of heart disease in men.
