Thanks to the generosity of our community, Dual Chamber External Pacemakers continue to deliver life-saving care at the San.

These remarkable devices are a critical tool in advanced cardiac care, helping to stabilise patients experiencing severe heart rhythm disorders. By synchronising the heart’s upper and lower chambers, they ensure the heart beats effectively - restoring rhythm, improving blood flow, and buying vital time until permanent treatment can be delivered.

They’re often used in urgent situations, such as after a heart attack or during complex cardiac procedures, supporting more than 100 patients each year with immediate, expert care when it matters most.

“This specialised care is essential for stabilising patients and offering a bridge to long-term treatment.” Dr Jason Sharp, Structural and Interventional Cardiologist

Your generosity helps ensure this life-saving technology remains available for those who need it most. Thank you for helping provide world-class cardiac care, right here in our community.

Sydney Adventist Hospital is proud to continue to lead the way as a Centre of Excellence in Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Closure procedures.

Cardiologists visit the San for specialist training in LAA closure from our doctors who are recognised as leaders in this field.

Over the 27th and 28th of March, Interventional Cardiologists Dr Jason Sharp and Dr Dennis Wang facilitated the first of two Centre of Excellence in Left Atrial Appendage Closure meetings for 2024.

Attendees travelled from interstate including Western Australia and Queensland to be part of the program.

“Our program is one of the most comprehensive in the country. Our most recent meeting included the observation of several cases of left atrial appendage closure in the San’s Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory, as well as step by step Amulet implant techniques, tips for procedural success and hands on simulator training,” said Dr Wang.

“Through sharing our knowledge, we are not only further enhancing the quality of care for our patients, but the broader community,” said Dr Sharp.

The next meeting will be held in September.
