The POWER Study (Project for an Ontario Women's Health Evidence-based Report) is producing a comprehensive Women's Health Report to serve as an evidence-based tool for policy makers, providers and consumers in their efforts to improve health and reduce health inequities among the women and men of Ontario.
The Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) was released on December 9th, 2009. The chapter examined: quality and outcomes of CVD care for heart failure, ischemic heart disease and stroke and how these vary by sex, income and geography; health and functional status of Ontarians with CVD and their risk factors for disease; and indicators that assess acute care, secondary prevention, diagnostic testing and clinical interventions and patient outcomes.
