Associate Professor Christopher X Wong MBBS MSc MPH PhD FRACP FACC FESC CCDS is a clinical and academic cardiologist with broad interests in cardiovascular medicine, heart rhythm disorders, and public health.
He attended Pembroke School on full scholarship, graduating as Dux and with a maximum tertiary entrance rank (top 0.05%; TER/ATAR 99.95). After studying medicine at the University of Adelaide, where he was an elected member of the University Council, he was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship. He read for masters degrees in clinical trials, epidemiology and population health at the University of Oxford, and subsequently completed a PhD in cardiovascular medicine. He was recently awarded Fulbright and Menzies Scholarships to further study, training and collaborations in the United States at the University of California San Francisco and Harvard University.
Chris is currently a Consultant Cardiologist at the Cardiovascular Centre, an Electrophysiology Fellow at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, and an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Centre for Heart Rhythm Disorders (CHRD), University of Adelaide, supported by a National Heart Foundation of Australia Post-Doctoral Fellowship and a Hospital Research Foundation Mid-Career Fellowship. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Physicians (FRACP), American College of Cardiology (FACC), and European Society of Cardiology (FESC), and an internationally Certified Cardiac Device Specialist (CCDS).
He has published over 200 journal articles and conference proceedings (75% first, second or last author, attracting >4300 citations, h-index 31) in major general medical (Archives of Internal Medicine, British Medical Journal), cardiovascular (Circulation, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, European Heart Journal) and subspecialty journals (Heart Rhythm, JACC Clinical Electrophysiology, Circulation Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology). He has held multiple Category 1 scholarships, fellowships and grants totalling over AUD 2 million dollars in funding. He is an Associate Editor for BMC Cardiovascular Disorders and European Heart Journal Case Reports, reviews regularly for over 40 international journals, and sits on multiple grant-funding committees, such as those of the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia. He has also been an invited faculty member at the leading international (Heart Rhythm Society Annual Scientific Sessions) and Asia-Pacific (Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society Annual Scientific Sessions) heart rhythm conferences, and a member of international guideline committees. He is actively involved in supervising research students and has been recognised with awards for education and teaching.
My research interests span the spectrum of heart rhythm disorders from atrial fibrillation through to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. We employ a variety of methodological approaches to investigate these conditions:
1) Epidemiological/population based studies (e.g. using cohort studies, routine data sources, systematic reviews/meta-analyses)
2) Mechanistic studies (e.g. using electrophysiological studies, electroanatomic mapping, cardiac imaging, animal models)
3) Clinical and intervention studies (e.g. management approaches for arrhythmias, clinical trials of pharmacologic/device/ablation therapies)
