Biography
Dr Louise Segan is a consultant cardiologist and clinical electrophysiologist at St Vincent’s Private Hospital.
Dr Segan specialises in arrhythmia management including ablation procedures and cardiac device management including pacemaker and defibrillator implantation, battery replacement and device monitoring.
She is completing a full-time PhD in cardiac electrophysiology through the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute and the University of Melbourne.
Her research focuses on optimising outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure well as focusing on improving recognition of the important role of lifestyle modification in AF management.
Dr Segan coordinated two ANZCTR registered clinical trials in AF and heart failure. The first, CAMERA-MRI II randomised study of early catheter ablation versus medical rate control in AF and HF with CMR-detected myocardial fibrosis, began recruitment in late 2020 and the results were recently presented as a Late Breaking Clinical Trial at ESC 2024 in London.
The second study, the WITHDRAW-AF randomised study, explores the safety and feasibility of staged withdrawal of heart failure therapies in patients with rhythm-controlled AF and recovered AF mediated cardiomyopathy.
