Professor Ben Freedman is an Honorary Professor of Cardiology at the University of Sydney's Faculty of Medicine, affiliated with the Charles Perkins Centre, Heart Research Institute, and ANZAC Research Institute's Vascular Biology Group. His research focuses on inflammation and thrombosis in coronary artery disease, secondary prevention post-heart attack, and atrial fibrillation (AF) screening to mitigate stroke risk. He collaborates internationally, notably with institutions in China, Hong Kong, and the UK on AF studies and vascular disease links with rheumatoid arthritis.
Research interests include AF detection methods, hypertension-AF relationships, and clinical trials for stroke prevention. He has authored over 200 publications, emphasizing AF screening efficacy and anticoagulation strategies. Awards are not explicitly listed, but his work is recognized globally through collaborative grants and leadership in the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration.
Prof. Freedman advises on atrial fibrillation management guidelines and leads studies like the SAFER trial evaluating population screening. His work spans academic, clinical, and community health sectors, advocating for early AF detection via ECG and digital health tools.
