The opportunities
MonashHeart offers an unparalleled clinical cardiology service to the state of Victoria. We have the unique opportunity of providing care to patients of all ages; from foetal life, through to older patients with cardiovascular disease. Our broad service manages a diverse spectrum of cardiac conditions including coronary artery disease, complex congenital heart disease and valvular/structural heart disease.
