Secondary prevention of coronary heart disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in primary care
First Nations peoples with CHD under active primary care management received similar secondary prevention medications and achieved BP and LDL-C targets as frequently as non-indigenous Australians. A focus on easier access to facilitate attending primary care is needed to close the gap as well as addressing social determinants of health and structural inequities.
