Raymond Sy

Clinical Associate Professor Raymond Sy is an academic cardiologist at the University of Sydney's Central Clinical School with a specialized focus on cardiac electrophysiology and heart rhythm disorders. He completed his PhD at the University of Sydney and undertook a two-year fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology and pacing at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.

Dr. Sy's research interests center on inherited arrhythmia syndromes including Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. His work extensively covers ablation techniques for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, cardiac implantable device testing, and risk stratification for sudden cardiac death. His research spans clinical trials, systematic reviews, and case reports with significant contributions to expert position statements.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on clinical guidelines development, particularly for atrial fibrillation ablation and Brugada syndrome management. His research integrates advanced imaging techniques with electrophysiological studies and emphasizes translational applications for improved patient outcomes in complex arrhythmia cases.

Dr. Sy has received research funding including a 2019 National Heart Foundation of Australia/Vanguard Grant for the QUIET BrS Study on non-invasive markers to assess quinidine effect in Brugada Syndrome, and a 2015 Vanguard Grant for research on early repolarization ECG in patients with inherited channelopathies.
