The Centre for Heart Rhythm Disorders is a dynamic and dedicated research organisation committed to excellence in cardiac electrophysiology. The group is involved in both research and clinical management of heart rhythm disorders, allowing the rapid and direct translation of novel research discoveries to benefit patients.

The research programs of the Centre focus on the spectrum of heart rhythm disorders and involve a multidisciplinary team of physicians, bioengineers, research scientists and computational modelers. There is an integrated approach to research at the molecular, cellular, whole heart and patient level.

The mission of the centre is to advance the understanding and management of heart rhythm disorders with the aim of improving health and wellbeing in the community.

Our clinical group has strong associations with the Centre for Heart Rhythm Disorders at the University of Adelaide, and their research is internationally renowned, attracting numerous awards.
