Donate to the Heart Research Engineering Team at Westmead Hospital

Support the team at Westmead's Cardiology Research Workshop in finding solutions for the treatment of heart disease by using innovative approaches to treat high blood pressure and heart rhythm problems

DONATE NOW

Heart disease was the underlying cause of 25% of deaths in 2021 in Australia

6.2% of adults (1.2 million) has 1 or more conditions related to heart, stroke, or vascular disease in 2017-2018

More than 1 in every 3 Australians over the age of 18 have high blood pressure

Donations will go towards engineering research into heart disease treatments

Microwave Catheters

New medical devices that use microwaves. Can treat high blood pressure by targeting kidney nerves and stubborn heart rhythm issues in the heart.

Lesiologic

Lesiologic is a safe tool that helps doctors during removal procedures. It tracks changes in heart tissue without invasive techniques, ensuring patients receive safe and effective treatment.

Cardiac Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

A non-invasive treatment for heart rhythm problems using X-rays. A unique collaboration between cardiologists and oncologists.

Nervous System Research

An investigative approach to the involvement of the nervous system in high blood pressure and heart rhythm problems. Heart cells are grown in a dish and are used to understand mechanisms of heart rhythm problems.

3D Heart Reconstuctions

Clinical studies using 3D reconstruction technology to identify the source of the heart rhythm problems. Used to investigate new and personalised treatment approaches.

Meet the team

The Cardiology Research Workshop is an inclusive, culturally diverse and rapidly growing group with extensve collaborations nationally and internationally.

The team compromises of 4 postdoctoral researchers, 2 engineering technical officers, more than 10 research students (PhD, Masters, Honours, MD, from 3 universities), and a number of junior doctors working on projects at the boundary of engineering and medicine solving clinically important problems that will benefit the lives of heart disease patients.
