Biography

Dr Kevin Chung is an Interventional Cardiologist with a special interest in acute coronary syndrome, structural heart disease such as transcatheter valvular interventions and pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease.

Graduating with honours from the University of Notre Dame Fremantle, Kevin was also widely recognised for his research in acute coronary syndrome which was published in Heart, Lung and Circulation, The Journal of American College of Cardiology and Emergency Medicine Australasia. He also presented this work at The American College of Cardiology in Chicago and The Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) in Brisbane in 2012.

He then completed specialty cardiology training in Western Australia at major academic tertiary hospitals; Sir Charles Gairdner, Royal Perth, and Fiona Stanley Hospital.

During this period, he completed a Master of Philosophy higher degree by research in pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease working with the largest population-based echocardiographic database in the world – The National Echo Database of Australia (NEDA). He is the primary author of a review article: “Pulmonary Hypertension due to left heart disease: Are we seeing the full picture?” which was published in Heart, Lung and Circulation in March 2018.

He has presented abstracts of his research at the Pulmonary Hypertension Society of Australasia and New Zealand ASM in 2016 and 2017, The Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand ASM in 2016 and 2017 and The European Society of Cardiology ASM in Barcelona 2017 and Munich in 2018. He was awarded a GlaxoSmithKline grant for the best oral abstract at the Pulmonary Hypertension Society of Australia and New Zealand ASM in Sydney 2017.

Dr Chung is passionate about educating junior doctors and completed a graduate certificate in Health Professional Education at the University of Notre Dame in 2017.

In 2020, he worked as a Locum Cardiologist in the Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplant Service at Fiona Stanley Hospital in WA. He then undertook a two-year clinical research fellowship in coronary intervention and structural heart disease at The University of Ottawa Heart Institute in Canada. During this time, he gained advanced skills and knowledge in coronary interventions, transcatheter aortic valve implantation, edge-to-edge mitral valve repair using Mitraclip, ASD/PFO closure, left atrial appendage closure, and mitral valvuloplasty.

Having recently returned to Perth, he will be consulting at Western Cardiology in Midland, Northam, Applecross, Subiaco, and Kalgoorlie.
