About this Podcast:
Heart Lab is a research venture dedicated to studying the effects of exercise on the heart to better understand heart disease. Backed by the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, St Vincent’s Institute, and St Vincent’s Hospital , our team consists of PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and international collaborators from Belgium and Spain. Our research focuses on using elite athletes—often considered the "F1 engines" of the human body—to gain insights into heart function. These findings not only help us better understand and address heart rhythm disorders, sudden cardiac death, and other serious cardiovascular conditions, but also translate into practical applications for the general public. By bridging the gap between athletic performance and heart health, we aim to develop strategies that benefit everyone, from those looking to optimise their fitness to individuals managing heart disease.
