Pramesh Kovoor

Associate Professor Pramesh Kovoor is a cardiovascular researcher and clinician affiliated with the University of Sydney's Westmead Clinical School and the Westmead Institute for Medical Research. He holds a dual role as Principal Investigator at the Westmead Applied Research Centre and is part of the Charles Perkins Centre. His clinical specialty is Cardiology with a focus on cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmia management.

His research spans ventricular arrhythmias, post-myocardial infarction care, implantable device efficacy, and innovative interventions like renal denervation. Notable projects include the CAAD-VT trial comparing catheter ablation vs antiarrhythmic drugs, and the FirstCPR community resuscitation trial. He leads development of diagnostic tools like intra-cardiac motion detection catheters and advanced ablation techniques.

Key contributions include over 150 peer-reviewed publications since 2002, focusing on arrhythmia mechanisms, risk stratification after myocardial infarction, and translational device research. His work bridges clinical practice and engineering innovations in cardiovascular care.
