As a heart rhythm specialist, Dr Dashwood’s interests include implantable devices and catheter ablation of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation.
Dr Dashwood has a particular interest in heart failure patients needing arrhythmia management and device intervention including conduction system pacing, cardiac resynchronization and defibrillators. He utilises device and app-based technology to optimize heart failure management and enhance patient quality of life.
Dr Dashwood completed his cardiology training at The Prince Charles Hospital in Australia, followed by a clinical Fellowship in advanced heart failure and transplantation at the same institution. He undertook a clinical Fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology at the Victorian Heart Hospital in Melbourne and is completing his PhD researching arrhythmogenesis in the failing heart.
