Dr Ajita Kanthan

Dr Ajita Kanthan is a pioneer in the use of radiation-free procedural techniques, having performed the first radiation-free transvenous pacemaker implant in Australia. He is currently the only cardiologist in the country performing this pacemaker technique on a regular basis. The significance of radiation-free techniques is highlighted by the fact that traditional trans-venous device implant methods rely on the use of X-rays, with radiation doses that can reach up to the equivalent of about 500 chest X-rays. Dr Kanthan also performed the first radiation-free cardiac ablations of both supra-ventricular and ventricular rhythm disorders in Sydney. He is a national and international trainer on device implantation and radiation-free procedural techniques. Dr Kanthan treats all forms of rhythm disorders including: Atrial fibrillation Supraventricular tachycardia Ventricular tachycardia Palpitations Blackouts He also performs all types of device implants including: Loop recorders Leadless & traditional pacemakers Subcutaneous & traditional defibrillators Bi-Ventricular re-synchronisation devices.
