Kaitlyn Lam

Kaitlyn Lam serves as an Adjunct Senior Lecturer in the School of Human Sciences at the University of Western Australia, contributing to medical education and clinical research within cardiac sciences.

Her specialized research focuses on pharmacological cardiac toxicities, particularly hydroxychloroquine-induced myocardial damage, with expertise spanning left ventricular hypertrophy, conduction abnormalities, and congestive heart failure. She employs differential diagnosis frameworks and genetic screening methodologies to address complex cardiac presentations, bridging clinical practice and academic investigation in drug safety monitoring.

Recent scholarly output includes a 2025 case report in the European Heart Journal - Case Reports documenting hydroxychloroquine's cardiotoxic effects, highlighting critical implications for long-term rheumatological therapy management and cardiac surveillance protocols.
