A/Prof Elliott is a nationally and internationally recognised leader in the field of cardiac arrhythmias. A/Prof Elliott holds a current National Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellowship to support his work into atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF). A/Prof Elliott has defined the role of physical inactivity as a risk factor for cardiac arrhythmias, and has led high-impact studies that show the contribution of exercise training to the management of patients with symptomatic AF. He is the principal investigator for the ongoing EXIT-AF randomised controlled trial into exercise rehabilitation following AF ablation.More recently, A/Prof Elliott has co-led the LAST-AF study that defines the presence of subclinical heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), using a novel combination of invasive haemodynamic, electrophysiological and imaging parameters. This work has significant implications for the ongoing management of patients with AF.A/Prof Elliott also leads a number of studies quantifying the mechanisms promoting arrhythmias in endurance athletes. He is the state-lead for the Pro@Heart study, a prospective cohort of current and former elite endurance athletes which will shed new light on the cardiac remodelling and development of arrhythmias in this cohort. A/Prof Elliott leads an outstanding team of PhD students, cardiac technicians and postdoctoral researchers within the Centre for Heart Rhythm Disorders. He has received >$4m in competitive grant finding over the past 5 years, has been invited to deliver talks (>25) at numerous national and international conferences, and is a senior investigator in multiple clinical trials including REDUCE-AF, PREDICT-STROKE, iCARE-AF.A/Prof Elliott holds a continuing academic appointment in the School of Biomedicine at the University of Adelaide, and is a member of the Heart Health Executive at the South Australian Health & Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI).A/Prof Elliott also holds accreditation as a clinical accredited exercise physiologist (ESSA).

A/Prof Elliott leads an internationally recognised program of research with the following themes:

1. Exercise-based interventions for patients with cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure and implanted devices.

2. Defining the pathophysiological features of subclinical heart failure in patients with cardiac arrhythmias.

3. Development of novel risk factor interventions to prevent and treat cardiac arrhythmias.

4. The prevalence and mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias amongst endurance athletes.

 

AVAILABLE PROJECTS FOR PhD/HONOURS STUDENTS

Below is a list of several projects available within A/Prof Elliott's lab in the Centre for Heart Rhythm Disorders. This list is not exhaustive and any prospective students should contact A/Prof Elliott in the first instance:

1. Optimising the Detection of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Amongst Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.

Using exercise-based imaging, blood sampling and direct measures of cardiac pressures, this project will explore the presence of undiagnosed heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) amongst patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing catheter ablation, and evaluates its subsequent impact on long-term outcomes.

2. Benefits of Exercise-Based Interventions Amongst Patients with Cardiac Arrhythmias and Implantable Cardiac Devices.

Although exercise training is clinically indicated amongst patients with heart failure, there is less information on the benefits of exercise amongst patients with cardiac arrhythmias and implantable cardiac devices, such as ICD's (implantable cardioverter defibrillator). This series of projects will explore the long term benefits of exercise in this cohort, with particular focus on outcomes including major cardiac events, cardiac function and quality of life.

3. Development of Novel Risk Factor Interventions to Treat Patients with Cardiac Arrhythmias.

Cardiac arrhythmias are the consequence of a wide range of risk factors that promote the development of cardiac disease and electrical triggers. This program of research will aim to develop new risk factor interventions that can be pragmatically implemented within routine clinical care to reduce patient morbidity, hospitalisations and major events including heart failure and stroke.

A/Prof Elliott is supported by a Future Leader Fellowship from the National Heart Foundation and is based in the Centre for Heart Rhythm Disorders (University of Adelaide/Royal Adelaide Hospital/South Australian Health & Medical Research Institute). A/Prof Elliott is also an accredited clinical exercise physiologist (ESSA).
