Melissa Leung

Associate Professor Melissa Leung is affiliated with the University of New South Wales (UNSW) at the South West Sydney Clinical School within the Medicine & Health department. Her research focuses on multimodality cardiac imaging techniques such as echocardiography, cardiac CT, and MRI, particularly in the context of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and obesity.

Research trends from her recent publications emphasize:

• Gender disparities in cardiovascular trials and outcomes
• Advanced imaging for myocardial infarction and stroke correlation
• Atrial fibrillation mechanics and risk stratification
• Diabetes-cardiovascular interplay in acute coronary syndromes
• Optimization of revascularization protocols

While specific scientific awards and student collaborations aren't listed in public records, her work demonstrates sustained impact through 15 recent publications (2010-2025) addressing critical intersections of cardiology, diabetes, and imaging technologies.
