Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are leading causes of death and morbidity in Australia and worldwide. Despite improvements in treatment, there remain large gaps in our understanding to prevent, treat and manage CVD events and associated morbidities. This article lays out a vision for enhancing CVD research in Australia through the development of a Big Data system, bringing together the multitude of rich administrative and health datasets available. The article describes the different types of Big Data available for CVD research in Australia and presents an overview of the potential benefits of a Big Data system for CVD research and some of the major challenges in establishing the system for Australia. The steps for progressing this vision are outlined.
心血管疾病（CVD）是澳大利亚和全球范围内导致死亡和发病的主要原因。尽管治疗有所改善，但我们在预防、治疗和管理 CVD 事件及相关并发症方面仍存在很大差距。本文通过开发大数据系统，汇集澳大利亚现有的丰富行政和健康数据集，为加强澳大利亚 CVD 研究提出了一个远景规划。文章描述了澳大利亚 CVD 研究中可用的不同类型大数据，并概述了大数据系统在 CVD 研究中的潜在益处以及为澳大利亚建立该系统所面临的一些主要挑战。本文还概述了推进这一远景规划的步骤。
