A/Prof Michael Wong

He completed his Doctorate as a clinical PhD research fellow in Cardiac Electrophysiology under the mentorship of Professor Jonathan Kalman and Dr Joseph Morton at Royal Melbourne Hospital and the University of Melbourne. His PhD research thesis reported novel findings on predictors, mechanisms and contemporary epicardial ablation techniques for lethal cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in various disease substrates including non-ischaemic/ischaemic cardiomyopathy and chronic kidney disease. He is a National Heart Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellow / Senior Research Fellow with the University of Melbourne and is responsible for the clinical supervision and training of medical students, junior medical doctors and trainee cardiologists.
